My wife and I are looking to purchase a property in Sprotbrough and are in fact using a Sprotbrough conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Coventry Building Society have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Sprotbrough conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Sprotbrough solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Sprotbrough and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The solicitor is duty bound to check with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

We are downsizing from our house in Sprotbrough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sprotbrough. We have lived in Sprotbrough for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am purchasing my first flat in Sprotbrough with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a residence in Neath but live in Sprotbrough. My solicitor (approximately 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Sprotbrough who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Sprotbrough
