I plan on acquiring residence in Dawlish. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved list. Can I still continue with my Dawlish conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?

- Appoint a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.

My son-in-law is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Dawlish with a mortgage from Co-operative. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
