I can't travel far from Castle Bromwich. I would like to know the understand why all Castle Bromwich conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s point of view, the the contrary view is that lenders are increasingly anxious and consider it crucial to protect them against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

I'm buying my first flat in Castle Bromwich with a loan from Halifax. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it could jeopardize 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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Castle Bromwich I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Castle Bromwich suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
