Finally, a mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single bedroom garden flat is coming by the end of next week. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Crawley?

This site is not designed to assist those in pursuit of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Crawley. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Crawley. Optimistically, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in extras and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.

Do the conveyancing solicitors to be found on your site handle auction conveyancing in Crawley?

There are a number of niche practitioners we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Crawley is one of hundreds of areas of in which our lawyers have offices.

I am buying a new build house in Crawley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with Clydesdale. 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 been advised by numerous selling agents in Crawley to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

One month into a sale of a flat in Crawley. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the managing agents. So far we have issued a cheque for £225 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for answers to questions raised by the purchaser's conveyancer.

You will not have control over the extent of the bill for this information but the average costs for the information for Crawley leasehold premises is £395. When it comes to Crawley conveyancing sales it is standard for the seller to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are obliged to provide answers.
