My wife and I are buying an apartment in Queen's Park. My Conveyancer is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Queen's Park conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
Various options include
- Carry on with your existing Queen's Park property lawyer but your mortgage company will need to use a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges and probable frustration.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to apply to join the mortgage company panel

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.
