I am purchasing a maisonette in Whissendine. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still continue with my Whissendine conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must have a property lawyer to deal with the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your home. They will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could appoint a Whissendine conveyancer of your choice. However, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the bank solicitor panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My wife and I are buying a newly constructed duplex in Whissendine and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

This enables them to carry out the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in England or Wales.
