There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Bank of Ireland will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Amersham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Amersham conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Amersham with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it could jeopardize 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Amersham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
