We are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Wolvey with a mortgage. We have a Wolvey solicitor, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Wolvey solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Wolvey conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I need some fast conveyancing in Wolvey as I am faced with an ultimatum to exchange contracts in less than one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I am purchasing a new build house in Wolvey with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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'm converting the mortgage on my current property to a BTL mortgage with Chelsea Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Wolvey. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the conveyances?
Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Assuming that they are the conveyancer should be able to connect the two transactions but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and needs.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Wolvey
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Wolvey conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
