You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and determine if they offer you a cash alternative.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Laindon?

Conveyancing - in Laindon or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems prior to you complete your move.
