I can't travel far from Hanslope. I would like to know the understand why all Hanslope conveyancers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
As unjust as it may seem for banks to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and regard it essential to protect them against illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Hanslope. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Hanslope 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
I'm buying my first flat in Hanslope with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
