I am getting a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Henbury. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Henbury but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but UBS are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your property lawyer that is on a UBS approved list is duty bound to advise UBS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Henbury.

What will a local search tell me about the house I am buying in Henbury?

I am purchasing a new build house in Henbury with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
