I am purchasing residence in Sprotbrough. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Can I still use my Sprotbrough conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to use a solicitor to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You could appoint a Sprotbrough solicitor of your choosing. However, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should do so.
My Sprotbrough solicitor has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

is it true that all Sprotbrough solicitor firms on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Sprotbrough benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Sprotbrough is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Sprotbrough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sprotbrough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
