Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Marple who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Barclays Direct. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little steep. If you are happy to spend time comparing quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you mightcome to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer. If is important to ensure the firm can act for Barclays Direct.

My son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Marple with a home loan from Barclays. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I'm buying a new build house in Marple with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would impact my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Marple to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
