Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Hamworthy who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Santander. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for an alternative property lawyer?

we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Hamworthy with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We have a Hamworthy conveyancing lawyer but Yorkshire Building Society says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Yorkshire Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Hamworthy for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hamworthy conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Hamworthy with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hamworthy is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Hamworthy are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
