My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to conduct alterations to our house in Alvechurch. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Alvechurch solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Lloyds conducted the valuation? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Alvechurch for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

I am purchasing a new build house in Alvechurch with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with National Westminster Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.
