I plan on acquiring residence in Norwood Green. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Norwood Green conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?

- Proceed with your preferred Norwood Green property lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly retain a solicitor from their approved list. This will result in additional charges and probable delay.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the bank’s conveyancing panel
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Norwood Green and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Norwood Green you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Norwood Green)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

About to purchase house in Norwood Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Norwood Green solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Norwood Green with a loan from Aldermore. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
