I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a Pangbourne based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank to check if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Pangbourne.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Pangbourne?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Pangbourne. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm purchasing my first flat in Pangbourne benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. 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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Pangbourne before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not issue a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Pangbourne. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Pangbourne especially if they are familiar with such properties in Pangbourne.
What makes your site different to other web based conveyancing brokers for conveyancing in Pangbourne?
At this site obtain a conveyancing quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that understands the issues for your conveyancing in Pangbourne. As opposed to estate agents and brokerage sites we do not operate referral arrangements with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' solicitors paying the most kickback, not the best value conveyancing in Pangbourne
Developers have recommended to me a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £300 less expensive than my family Pangbourne solicitor. What's the catch?
Developers normally have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and solicitor. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancer is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Pangbourne property lawyer.
