I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Freezywater. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being problematic. The Freezywater solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Freezywater with a mortgage from TSB. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.
Am I right to be concerned that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Freezywater conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
