I'm purchasing my first flat in Earl Shilton with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Earl Shilton is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Earl Shilton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Earl Shilton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Earl Shilton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My son is embarking on her first house purchase, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the apartment we called the mortgage company to issue the formal offer. I was shocked to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all lawyer, they must be on their panel, is this right?
Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Earl Shilton solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
