Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Mortimer who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from The Mortgage Works. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. Where you are happy to invest time comparing prices you may be able to shave off some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds.

I'm buying a new build house in Mortimer benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with Coventry Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
