My fiance and I are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Pitsea with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We like our Pitsea conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Pitsea house deals. Is this right?

I'm buying a new build house in Pitsea with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
