My partner and I are purchasing a newly built flat in Locks Heath and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer.

My fiance and I are buying a newbuild apartment in Locks Heath with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank.We have a Locks Heath conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank says her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Lloyds TSB Bank panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank
