We are purchasing a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Wilsden who is on the HSBC solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

My fiance and I are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Wilsden with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We would like to retain our Wilsden conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank informed us he's not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank

I'm buying a new build house in Wilsden benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage 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.
The solicitors carrying out our conveyancing in Wilsden has forwarded documents to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all property in Wilsden should be registered?
Over ninety percent of property in Wilsden is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Wilsden conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but where uncertainty reigns the conventional recommendation nowadays appears to be for the current owners to register it first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this no doubt cause a significant delay.
