We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a Fulford based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company to ask if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Fulford.
Will my solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Fulford.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Fulford. There are those who purchase a house in Fulford, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Fulford. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Fulford with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. 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.

My partner and I have just had an offer accepted on a flat and had an appointment on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur an extra charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Fulford on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
