My partner’s mother is a solicitor. I suspect that I can be offered friends and family fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Jesmond?
It’s a good idea to obtain multiple conveyancing estimates. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. Whilst estimates will vary but the service one can expect are distinct between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
I am purchasing my first flat in Jesmond benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

Our lawyer in Jesmond has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Jesmond. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the lender conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. A precondition to being on the lender approved panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
