I am expecting a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Spennymoor. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Some advice if I may. My Spennymoor solicitor is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Spennymoor conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Spennymoor conveyancing searches.

I am purchasing my first flat in Spennymoor benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. 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.

I bought a flat in Spennymoor last 16/3/2023 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it may take 12 months to register. I have spoken with HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?
