Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Mold?

I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Mold. I now require my file however cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?
Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Mold of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I'm buying a new build house in Mold with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. 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.
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Mold ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not give a mortgage on such a property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Mold. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
