My King's Cross lawyer has spotted a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

We are selling our apartment in King's Cross. Does the conveyancer need to be required to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB 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 conditions fairly frequently currently.

I am helping my aunt sell her house in King's Cross. Does the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s remained a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are using a King's Cross conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local assessors

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the King's Cross property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

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.
