is it true that all Nether Stowey solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Nether Stowey conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC conducted the valuation? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am buying a property in Nether Stowey. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?
Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Nether Stowey.

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Nether Stowey.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Nether Stowey with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
