I selected a high street firm for our conveyancing in Bordon recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or select a web based lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Bordon?

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bordon for our home move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Aldermore won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Bordon conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Bordon conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Bordon is amongst the thousands of areas where the solicitors showing on our search results are are authorised to act for Aldermore.
My stepmother informed me that in buying a property in Bordon there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external alterations to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Bordon which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Bordon should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Bordon building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Bordon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Bordon has been accepted, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Clydesdale or the broker and finalise any outstanding forms. Clydesdale will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bordon.
I'm buying my first flat in Bordon with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
