Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Little Hulton is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Little Hulton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am purchasing a new build house in Little Hulton with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.
