I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Haggerston for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders The Royal Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

A decade ago most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Haggerston conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Haggerston conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing.

I am assisting my mother sell her property in Haggerston. Will the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being marketed.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Haggerston conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the valuation? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We were going to get a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Haggerston solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Haggerston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I'm buying a new build house in Haggerston with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
