Why would one appoint a Mevagissey conveyancing firm given that national conveyancers are less overpriced?

We are buying a detached bungalow in Mevagissey. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Mevagissey will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Mevagissey solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Mevagissey accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Mevagissey. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Mevagissey conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
I am selling our home in Mevagissey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Mevagissey lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Mevagissey. Having lived in Mevagissey for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Mevagissey?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Mevagissey with a loan from Britannia. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
