My home in Irlam and Cadishead is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the solicitor need to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming 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 requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I'm buying my first flat in Irlam and Cadishead benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. 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.

The property lawyers handling our conveyancing in Irlam and Cadishead has sent documents to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Irlam and Cadishead are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Irlam and Cadishead that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Irlam and Cadishead property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Irlam and Cadishead conveyancing lawyers will be capable of dealing with such matters but if any uncertainty exists the prevailing guidance presently appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and subsequently sell - this will have a domino effect to cause a drawn-out transaction.
