My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Lamorbey. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am purchasing a property in Lamorbey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Lamorbey.

Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Lamorbey. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 Lamorbey and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I am purchasing my first flat in Lamorbey with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
