We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in West Hill for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Clydesdale won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all West Hill conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many West Hill conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. West Hill is one of the thousands of locations where the lawyers showing on our search results are are authorised to act for Clydesdale.
I'm purchasing my first flat in West Hill with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in West Hill I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I am a fortnight into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in West Hill. I am am extremely frustrated with the quality of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?
They would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the replacement solicitor and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating fees and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

My solicitors in West Hill have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
