I plan on purchasing residence in Fenham. My lawyer is not on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Fenham conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One will need to have a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to buy your home. They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may appoint a Fenham lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel additional charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

Should my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Fenham.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Fenham. Plenty of people will buy a house in Fenham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Fenham. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. A buyer’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Fenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying my first flat in Fenham benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
