We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Beadnell?

It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Beadnell.
I am purchasing a new build house in Beadnell benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would jeopardize 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.
