Me and my husband are purchasing a maisonette in Hassocks. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Hassocks conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?

You will need to instruct a lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can select a Hassocks solicitor of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

My partner and I are acquiring a new build flat in Hassocks and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I don't want to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
