Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Great Linford

Is the fact that my solicitor in Great Linford is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Great Linford conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am thinking of refinancing my property in Great Linford, does my lawyer need to be on the RBS Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I am buying my first flat in Great Linford benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage 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.
