I am not well enough to travel far from Narborough. Is there a reason why all Narborough conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies removing a number of firms off their panel of approved solicitors .
I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Narborough. The vast majority the appartments have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Narborough?
A big part of the Narborough legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are a large number of companies delivering Narborough conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search organisation due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their data from the local authority.
I am purchasing a new build house in Narborough benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my loan 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.

I'm remortgaging a flat in Narborough. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
