Is the fact that my solicitor in Rise Park is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Rise Park conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
My grandson is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Rise Park with a home loan from . His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Do I need to be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Rise Park conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward lawyers to appoint. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
