My husband and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Holyhead and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
My fiance and I decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Holyhead with a homeloan from Alliance & Leicester .We use our Holyhead conveyancing lawyer but Alliance & Leicester says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Alliance & Leicester solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
