My friend's step-father is a conveyancer. I expect that I can be offered friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs should I be paying for conveyancing in Stoke Bishop?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this site. The fees seem to be different but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of delay in Stoke Bishop conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

I am purchasing a new build house in Stoke Bishop with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it will affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Stoke Bishop
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Stoke Bishop conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
To what extent are Stoke Bishop conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing costs?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Stoke Bishop or or elsewhere in the country.
