My partner and I are intent on buying an apartment in Haslington. My Conveyancer is not listed on the lender approved list. Can I still appoint my Haslington conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must appoint a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may select a Haslington solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer selected is not a member of the lender approved list supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Haslington with a mortgage from Britannia. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with Britannia. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Haslington where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Haslington conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
