When will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Waddington and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?

We had chosen solicitors locally in Waddington on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Waddington lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Waddington. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform RBS?
You must advise RBS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Waddington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Waddington lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build house in Waddington with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. 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.
