My partner and I are purchasing a new build apartment in Pontllanfraith and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange and I would rather not delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Pontllanfraith building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Pontllanfraith conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Pontllanfraith. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. A couple of days later, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
