Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cheddar

I am selling my home in Cheddar and the estate agent has just called to advise that the purchasers are changing their property lawyer. The excuse is that the mortgage company will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a major lender only work with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Cheddar ?

Mortgage companies have always had panels of law firms they are content to work with, but in the past few years big names such as Nationwide, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.

Lenders attribute this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Cheddar based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and explore if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Cheddar.

I'm buying a new build house in Cheddar with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
