Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?

Our nephew is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Roundhay with a home loan from Skipton. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We're in Roundhay, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
