My husband and I are buying a new build flat in Godmanchester and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I don't want to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Godmanchester. Do we need to choose a high street Godmanchester solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Barclays don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Godmanchester
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Godmanchester conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
