We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Wimborne based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Wimborne.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Wimborne. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Wimborne conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wimborne surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Wimborne with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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 just placed an offer on an apartment in Wimborne and the estate agent that we are dealing with suggested his conveyancer. He quoted a thousand pounds excluding VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?
