My husband and I are purchasing a newly constructed apartment in Blaydon On Tyne and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer.

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Blaydon On Tyne off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Blaydon On Tyne. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Blaydon On Tyne conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

My lawyers in Blaydon On Tyne have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
