My fiance and I are buying a purpose built flat in Malton with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We like our Malton conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 Bank of Scotland
I am purchasing a new build house in Malton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
Given that I am about to part with 450k on a property in Malton I wish to talk to a lawyer concerning thehouse move in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Malton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a case number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Malton should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have referrals from friends or family who have previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
Our offer on semi in Malton was agreed to, the vendor does nevertheless have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Malton. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is standard to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Malton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
