I am not well enough to travel far from Tutbury. I would like to know the logic why all Tutbury property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders purging a number of firms from their official list of approved property lawyers .
I am nearing an exchange on a property in Tutbury and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am purchasing my first flat in Tutbury with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Tutbury. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Tutbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
