I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Llanarth and Oakford. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Llanarth and Oakford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
Various options include
- Proceed with your existing Llanarth and Oakford solicitor but your bank will undoubtedly instruct a property lawyer from their approved panel. The net result is additional cost and probable frustration.
- Get a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to attempt to join the bank panel

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Llanarth and Oakford on 21/4/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Virgin Money have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Llanarth and Oakford has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will need to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up Virgin Money or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. Virgin Money will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. Virgin Money will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llanarth and Oakford.
Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Llanarth and Oakford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Llanarth and Oakford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I am purchasing my first flat in Llanarth and Oakford benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
