We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Brundall with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Brundall solicitor, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Brundall property lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Brundall conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Our nephew is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Brundall with a home loan from Clydesdale. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Brundall. The Brundall property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
