My IFA has asked me for my Sharnbrook solicitor’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have contacted my local Sharnbrook branch but they don't know it.

Have you tried speaking to your Sharnbrook conveyancer about this?. They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Sharnbrook with a loan from Britannia. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Sharnbrook

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Sharnbrook conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
