Me and my husband are acquiring an apartment in Gatley. My Solicitor is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Can I still use my Gatley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to instruct a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a loan to purchase your home. The solicitor will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. One may appoint a Gatley conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

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.
