Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Moulton who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate fees appear a little high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you maycome to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer.

My husband and I are refinancing our penthouse in Moulton with Coventry BS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Coventry BS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am purchasing a new build house in Moulton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my loan with the bank. 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.
