I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Motspur Park. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We're in Motspur Park, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Yorkshire BS , and our lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Various web forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Motspur Park house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Motspur Park.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Motspur Park with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I have been looking for Motspur Park online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Motspur Park firms that are listed on your site are on the bank conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Motspur Park conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
