Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Skipton?
Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.
I am buying my first flat in Skipton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Skipton. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Why can't I complete our conveyancing in Skipton on Good Friday?
Because on completion the sale price will be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and seller's conveyancing practitioner and currently this can only happen on a business day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
