I am selling my house in Shillington. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Shillington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I am purchasing a property in Shillington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?

As your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Shillington.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Shillington. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?

Nationwide must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.

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.

Should I be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Shillington conveyancing company?

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend conveyancers to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
