My partner and I are acquiring a flat in Holly Village. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to use my Holly Village conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to purchase your property. The property lawyer will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could appoint a Holly Village conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the property lawyer selected is not on the bank conveyancing panel further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
We are selling our apartment in Holly Village. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
I am buying a house and the lawyer has referenced Chancel Repair to which the property may be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly necessary for conveyancing in Holly Village
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Holly Village to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Holly Village with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would impact my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Holly Village. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
