Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Kirkby In Furness. Is there a reason why all Kirkby In Furness conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms from their official list of approved property lawyers .

My Kirkby In Furness conveyancer has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

Just acquired a detached house in Kirkby In Furness , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Kirkby In Furness conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.

As far as conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties.

Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am purchasing my first flat in Kirkby In Furness with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras 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.
