I can't travel far from Lewes. Can you please explain the reason why all Lewes conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s viewpoint, the the contrary view is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and consider it imperative to shield themselves against illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Lewes with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. 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.
