I was told yesterday by my IFA that my Ashton solicitor is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Ashton lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Ashton conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
Are the Ashton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Skipton conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Skipton?
Ashton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.
My flat in Ashton is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the lawyer need to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
I'm buying a new build house in Ashton with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
