Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Arundel who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Coventry Building Society. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet property lawyer?

The charges are a tad high. Where you are willing to spend time scrutinising quotes you may be able to trim some of the expense by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were satisfied with the legal work the firm gave you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can represent Coventry Building Society.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Arundel?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Arundel will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Arundel. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Arundel.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Arundel it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Arundel commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Arundel.

I am buying my first flat in Arundel with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the bank. 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.

Am I best advised to choose a Arundel conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the conveyancing but her office is approximately 350miles away.

The benefit of a high street Arundel conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Arundel conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
