I have just been advised by my IFA that my Wilton lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?

The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Wilton conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Wilton conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.

My husband and I are purchasing a brand new apartment in Wilton and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I would rather not delay matters. 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.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Wilton?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Wilton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
