Much to our surprise we have been notified by our mortgage adviser that my Goddington the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain that this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to contact your Goddington lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
The Goddington conveyancing firm handling our Goddington conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance right?
Your must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Goddington. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property.

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Goddington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Goddington with a mortgage from . The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with . Is this normal?.
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.
