Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Henfield

We are intending to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Henfield with a mortgage. We have a Henfield solicitor, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Henfield conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Henfield conveyancing practitioner ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Henfield conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing a new build house in Henfield with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage 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.
