I can't travel far from Repton. I would like to know the logic why all Repton conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
As unjust as it may seem for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and regard it essential to protect them from illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Repton?
If you are buying a property in Repton your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this will be required immediately ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Repton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.

Is there a reason that Repton conveyancing costs are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
If acquiring a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
