My husband and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Kibworth Beauchamp with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Kibworth Beauchamp conveyancing practitioner but The Royal Bank of Scotland says he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland

I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Kibworth Beauchamp. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Coventry Building Society to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kibworth Beauchamp and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I am buying a new build house in Kibworth Beauchamp with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it would adversely affect my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.
