My fiance and I intend to purchase a 2 bedroom flat in Liphook with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Liphook conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd
I'm buying a new build house in Liphook with a loan from Aldermore. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with Aldermore. 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 plan to buy our first house in Liphook. Conveyancing lawyer has been chosen. The broker advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built in 2002.
You would be best advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues seek a comprehensive structural survey.
