We are planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Mountsorrel who is on the Coventry BS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Santander Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Mountsorrel?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Mountsorrel conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

I'm buying a new build house in Mountsorrel with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
