I am selling my house in Holly Village. Will the solicitor have to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
I am intent on selling our house in Holly Village and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Holly Village. We have lived in Holly Village for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Holly Village. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I am purchasing my first flat in Holly Village benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with the lender. 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.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Holly Village before appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Holly Village. I have land on a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
