I am purchasing a newly built apartment in Redfield and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Redfield with a homeloan from Lloyds TSB Bank.We would like to retain our Redfield conveyancing solicitor but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Lloyds TSB Bank panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank

As far as conveyancing in Redfield registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
