Me and my wife are purchasing a leasehold flat in East Bergholt. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my East Bergholt conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your chosen East Bergholt but your mortgage company will undoubtedly appoint a on their approved panel. The net result is additional cost and potential frustration.
- Appoint a fresh to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to join the lender’s conveyancing panel

I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in East Bergholt. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in East Bergholt and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing my first flat in East Bergholt with a mortgage from . The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
