My family lawyer has sent a quote for £1400 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Westhoughton. I am selling a Georgian house for £150,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Westhoughton?
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125. That being said, you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to enquire the firm can act for your bank.

I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Westhoughton. 95% of the flats are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Westhoughton?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Westhoughton conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Westhoughton.

I am buying a new build house in Westhoughton with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may adversely 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.
