In the event thatI was to buy a freehold homein Sutton Coldfield mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Sutton Coldfield?
Any savings you would make will be limited to the Sutton Coldfield conveyancing searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
We are planning on selling our property in Sutton Coldfield and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sutton Coldfield. Having lived in Sutton Coldfield for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying my first flat in Sutton Coldfield with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
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.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
