I am not well enough to travel far from Bishop Auckland. Is there a reason why all Bishop Auckland conveyancers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s perspective, the the contrary view is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and regard it crucial to protect them against illegal activities. As a result of this concern mortgage companies have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Bishop Auckland completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying my first flat in Bishop Auckland with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Are there any specific benefits to using a local solicitor in Bishop Auckland
Plenty of house movers in Bishop Auckland select a local solicitor so that they can visit if they have questions, and to deliver paperwork without using the post.
We would argue that there exists a marginal benefit in using a conveyancer nearby to a house you are purchasing, due to the knowledge of the region and potential local issues - however this is debatable. Many conveyancers are now through email and could be practically anywhere.
