My husband and I are acquiring a new build flat in Spalding and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I don't want to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Is it correct that all Spalding CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Spalding agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Spalding. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Spalding conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
