After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Edenbridge. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Edenbridge agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Edenbridge conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Edenbridge.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Edenbridge?

These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Edenbridge.
I am buying my first flat in Edenbridge with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. 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.
