My husband and I are buying a newly built duplex in Wingate and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. 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 will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be required immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days prior to the day of completion.
My apartment in Wingate is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
