My offer was accepted on a house in Alfreton on 23/7/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Alfreton has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Clydesdale or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Alfreton.

I am purchasing a new build house in Alfreton benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.

My husband and I are selling a Alfreton apartment we inherited ten years ago in 2012. I have over 12 years conveyancing know-how and, now retired, see no reason not to carry out the conveyancing. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow us to do our own conveyancing requiring the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to property lawyers from all CML members specify that If the vendor is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made if they are prepared to progress.
