I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Hoxton. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I'm buying my first flat in Hoxton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Hoxton
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Hoxton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
I own a leasehold flat in Hoxton. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Hoxton who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Hoxton conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have given up trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Hoxton. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Hoxton conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Hoxton residence is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72.39 years.
