We are buying a newly converted flat in Conwy with a residential mortgage from Coventry Building Society.We use our Conwy conveyancing solicitor but Coventry Building Society says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Coventry Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Coventry Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
My wife and I are planning on selling our property in Conwy and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Conwy. Having lived in Conwy for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying my first flat in Conwy benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
