I was referred a lawyer who has quoted £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Swaffham. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built property for £275,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Swaffham?

I'm buying a new build house in Swaffham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it will put at risk my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Swaffham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Swaffham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Swaffham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Swaffham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Me and my partner are expecting to exchange buying a property in Swaffham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated compensation from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any conveyancer being on the bank approved list is required to advise the bank of any variations to the sale price. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
