My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Lacock with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Lacock conveyancing lawyer but Accord Mortgages Ltd says he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Lacock. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lacock and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

I am buying a new build house in Lacock with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
