My fiance and I are buying a newbuild apartment in Woolavington with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We use our Woolavington conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works

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.

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.
