Some advice if I may. My Leamouth lawyer is informing me me that she is duty bound toorder Leamouth conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Leamouth checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Leamouth conveyancing searches.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Leamouth and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Leamouth you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Leamouth)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I'm buying a new build house in Leamouth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
