My mortgage broker has requested my Chertsey law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Chertsey office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Chertsey property lawyer . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.

My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from HSBC as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Chertsey. Are we obliged to select a local Chertsey solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
HSBC do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Chertsey building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Chertsey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I am purchasing a new build house in Chertsey with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Clydesdale. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
My cousin has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Chertsey. Do I take his recommendation?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have referrals from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor you're considering.
