We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Partington?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company and explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some lenders 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 near Partington.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Partington with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Partington is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Partington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Partington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Partington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
