Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to to identify practices on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in New Waltham?

We expect to receive a OIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any New Waltham solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint New Waltham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being difficult. The New Waltham solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in New Waltham has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact RBS or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in New Waltham.

I'm purchasing a new build house in New Waltham with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
