My wife and I are buying a newly built flat in Lampeter and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange and my preference is not to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

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

My fiance and I are buying a newly converted flat in Lampeter with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Lampeter conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society advised that her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Barnsley Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society

Lampeter Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries before buying

    Generally speaking the cost for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, although there some managing agents in Lampeter require leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works. Where a Lampeter lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension. Does this lease have more than 80 years remaining?
