We are intending to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in Wootton Bassett with a mortgage. We have a Wootton Bassett solicitor, however the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Wootton Bassett lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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 Wootton Bassett conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when buying a residence in Wootton Bassett? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Wootton Bassett?
Unless a prior purchase of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you can assume that conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Wootton Bassett to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I am purchasing a new build house in Wootton Bassett benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
