I am not in a position to travel far from Great Sankey. Is there a reason why all Great Sankey conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms from their official list of approved solicitors .
I moved into my house on 13 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Great Sankey said it should be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Great Sankey uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Great Sankey registration formalities.

As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying my first flat in Great Sankey with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Great Sankey. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
