Do Nationwide recommend any Oughtibridge solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Oughtibridge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Oughtibridge

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Oughtibridge conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
