I chose a Whitstable based solicitor for my conveyancing in Whitstable yesterday. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and use an internet firm offering no move no charge conveyancing in Whitstable?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that abort. Dont forget that such arrangements tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Whitstable conveyancing search expenses.

Is it the case that all Whitstable CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Coventry BS conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We previously instructed solicitors based in Whitstable on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Whitstable solicitor. Some firms on the Principality panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from UBS as we intend to conduct alterations to our property in Whitstable. Do we need to choose a high street Whitstable solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
UBS would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS list.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Whitstable with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.

I have finally had an offer on an maisonette in Whitstable agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Whitstable. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Whitstable conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
