Me and my partner are acquiring a ground floor flat in Chard. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Chard conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?
You must instruct a lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One may instruct a Chard solicitor of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer selected is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel supplemental fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am helping my sister sell her property in Chard. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a required element of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. It is not something that law firms normally organise. Where you are instructing a Chard conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Chard energy assessors
About to purchase apartment in Chard. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Chard conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Chard with a mortgage from Britannia. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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 novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Chard
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Chard conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
