Is the fact that my conveyancer in Frinton and Walton is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Frinton and Walton conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

We had appointed conveyancers locally in Frinton and Walton on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate fee for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Frinton and Walton conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We were going to get a AIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Frinton and Walton solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Frinton and Walton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Frinton and Walton 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I am purchasing a new build house in Frinton and Walton with a loan from Santander. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
