Given that you are getting a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

Not long after, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Thorpe Astley. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thorpe Astley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Thorpe Astley benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my loan with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.

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.

Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.
