We selected a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Barton Seagrave yesterday. Going through the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Barton Seagrave?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these deals tend not to cover expenses e.g. Barton Seagrave conveyancing search expenses.
Our god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Barton Seagrave with a mortgage from Santander. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is it correct that all Barton Seagrave CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Is it the case that all Barton Seagrave conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have instructed a Barton Seagrave conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Barton Seagrave postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Barton Seagrave.
