My Solicitor in Benton has never been on on the The Mortgage Works Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the The Mortgage Works approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Benton solicitors but The Mortgage Works will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges and result in frustration.
- Choose an alternative solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the The Mortgage Works panel
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Benton but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the lowest Benton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am purchasing my first flat in Benton with a loan from Clydesdale. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it will impact my loan 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Benton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Benton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Benton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Benton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
