My lawyer in Delabole has never been on on the Bank of Scotland Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Bank of Scotland approved list?

- Get a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Delabole. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Delabole?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Delabole. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Delabole conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Santander to issue the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am purchasing a new build house in Delabole with a mortgage from Santander. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with Santander. 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.
