My wife and I are intending to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Nuthall with a mortgage. We like our Nuthall lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Nuthall lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; can we not require that the bank use our Nuthall lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Nuthall conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Nuthall with a home loan from Virgin Money. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
