Most approved lawyers for lenders carry out the vast majority of communications via Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This enables them to undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in England or Wales. Nevertheless you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.

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%.

Am I best advised to choose a Baildon conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Baildon conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Baildon conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Baildon based.
