Me and my fiance are planning to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Bursledon with a mortgage. We have a Bursledon solicitor, however the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or continue with our Bursledon solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer 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 Bursledon conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Bursledon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bursledon conveyancing specialists.

I am purchasing my first flat in Bursledon with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Bursledon. I happened to discover a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary?
