we are a couple who are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Sneinton with a loan from Bank of Scotland.We use our Sneinton conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland says he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

I'm purchasing my first flat in Sneinton with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
