We are planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Worksop who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nationwide . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Worksop.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Worksop for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Worksop conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Worksop conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Worksop is one of the hundreds of locations where the conveyancers we list are are authorised to act for Birmingham Midshires.
A colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Worksop I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is usually quoted for as part of the standard Worksop conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Worksop Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Worksop Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Worksop.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Worksop with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would adversely affect my loan with National Westminster Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
