I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in London Colney recently. Looking through the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to select an on-line conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in London Colney?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those conveyances that do not go ahead. Please beware that such schemes generally do not cover expenses by way of example London Colney conveyancing search fees.

The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the vendor to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded.

A purchaser’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.
I am buying a new build house in London Colney benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could affect my loan with HSBC Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.
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.
