My IFA has asked me for my Beadnell solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Beadnell branch but they have not responded to me.

Our son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Beadnell with a mortgage from Lloyds. 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 Lloyds conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. 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 Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Should lawyers ask for money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Beadnell?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Beadnell your solicitor will ask you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this should be asked for shortly before contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

I am purchasing a property in Beadnell. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Beadnell.
