Is the fact that my conveyancer in Narborough is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Narborough conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
When does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Narborough and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?

However, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically.

I am buying a new build house in Narborough with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect 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.
The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Narborough has forwarded papers to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HMLR?
Whilst most properties in Narborough are now registered with HMLR there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Narborough that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Narborough property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Narborough conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with such matters but if any uncertainty reigns the conventional proposition nowadays is for the seller to register it first and subsequently sell - this can though naturally cause a significant delay.
