My partner and I are buying a brand new duplex in Stanwell and my lawyer is informing me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. 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.

Completion is due on the disposal of our £475,000 flat in Stanwell in 10 days. The managing agents has quoted £408 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Stanwell?
Stanwell conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

My partner and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Stanwell. When we first instructed conveyancer, they said that they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our financial adviser called today to advise that they are not on the Skipton approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a different lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for separate representation, with Skipton selecting their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Skipton to discover 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 Skipton's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Stanwell lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
