As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS.

The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Somerstown.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Somerstown. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money 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.

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.
