I can't travel far from Lynmouth. Is there a reason why all Lynmouth conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to reduce the size of their panel they use to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the standard of advice provided by any Lynmouth conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are contrary points of view about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only carry out a couple of conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Lynmouth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Lynmouth.
I am buying my first flat in Lynmouth with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
