Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Laindon?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Laindon with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Laindon
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Laindon conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
