My partner and I are acquiring a newly built flat in Caersws and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to sign contracts and I would rather not delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Caersws. The Caersws property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

We previously appointed solicitors located in Caersws on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Santander but by your Caersws solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
