I am mortgaging my apartment in Stoke Bishop, does my lawyer need to be on the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I am buying a new build house in Stoke Bishop with a loan from Britannia. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with Britannia. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Stoke Bishop conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Stoke Bishop conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

I bought a leasehold flat in Stoke Bishop, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Stoke Bishop with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2094
With 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
