We went with a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Summertown and Botley today. After carefully reading the Terms it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and choose a web based lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Summertown and Botley?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to cover those cases that do not proceed. Please beware that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenses such your Summertown and Botley conveyancing search costs.
I'm buying a new build house in Summertown and Botley with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it could jeopardize 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.

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.
