We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Claverdon with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Claverdon lawyer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Claverdon solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; can we not demand that the mortgage company use our Claverdon lawyer ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. Another option that might be available is for your Claverdon conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I'm buying a new build house in Claverdon with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Do I need to be concerned about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Claverdon conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest lawyers to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
