I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Frampton Cotterell. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

The Frampton Cotterell conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Frampton Cotterell have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my family Frampton Cotterell lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.
I'm buying my first flat in Frampton Cotterell with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.

Two months into a sale of a flat in Frampton Cotterell. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay a fortune by the landlord. So far we have forked out £275 for a leasehold management information and then another £134.40 for supplemental questions raised by the purchaser's lawyer.
Neither you or your solicitor will have any sway over the level of the fee for this information however the typical costs for the information for Frampton Cotterell leasehold property is £355. When it comes to Frampton Cotterell conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that requires capped fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any set time frame by which they are duty bound to provide answers.
