I plan on buying a maisonette in Chertsey. My Conveyancer is not listed on the lender approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Chertsey conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to buy your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. You may instruct a Chertsey conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they should do so.

I purchased my home on 2 February and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Chertsey advises it would be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Chertsey particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Chertsey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Chertsey benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. 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.
