I selected a Holborn based lawyer for my conveyancing in Holborn recently. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I notewe are on the hook for fees even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I go with them or use a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Holborn?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset the conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that such deals tend not to cover disbursements such as Holborn conveyancing search charges.

Are you able to suggest a accepted Holborn conveyancing practice who can have us moved in within a short deadline? Would it be better to use a high street Holborn conveyancer or an online conveyancer?

We would be happy to suggest some excellent Holborn conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Holborn. Go in to a couple of firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your time frames together with the reasons and get a commitment on speed. Select the one that appears most efficient.

I am buying my first flat in Holborn with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.

I am 18 days into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to handle our conveyancing in Holborn. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

They would have to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.

My fiance is purchasing a shared ownership flat in Holborn. He was given a quote by the recommended by the selling agents totaling £1300 . It was ten years ago since I sold and purchased a home and the fee was £440. Have fees really gone up that much?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Holborn searches, land registry fees, etc)
