Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Llanelli. Can you please spell out why all Llanelli solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies pruning less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should be aware precisely where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch.

I'm buying a new build house in Llanelli with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
