My IFA has requested my Fernhill Heath lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have contacted my local Fernhill Heath office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Fernhill Heath conveyancer . Most Fernhill Heath law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Fernhill Heath?
Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank and check if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Fernhill Heath.
Will my conveyancer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Fernhill Heath.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Fernhill Heath. There are those who purchase a property in Fernhill Heath, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain 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 purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Fernhill Heath. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. A purchaser’s lawyers may also order an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
I have a renovated Georgian property in Fernhill Heath. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fernhill Heath and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying my first flat in Fernhill Heath benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.

If so you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are issued to the new lawyers.
