My home in Nayland is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Nayland. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Nayland?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Nayland. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Nayland. The Nayland property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

We had selected solicitors located in Nayland on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Nayland conveyancer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.

I am buying my first flat in Nayland with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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.

We are 14 days into a residential purchase having been directed to solicitors by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Nayland. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A solicitor would need to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you will need to advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating fees and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
