Me and my partner are acquiring a leasehold flat in Toton. My Conveyancer is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Can I still retain my Toton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?

You have a number of choices open to you here

• Carry on with your chosen Toton lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly retain a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable frustration.
• Appoint a new solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
• Convince your property lawyer to do everything possible to get accepted on the lender’s conveyancing panel

I'm buying a new build house in Toton with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

My wife and I have today had a bid accepted on our 1st home in Toton, and need to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the various comparison tools and the results are from all across the country. Is it critical to have a Toton property lawyer local to our prospective house? I am content to do all the communicating electronically, but I guess at some stage we will be required to visit the property lawyer's office to sign documents?

The lawyer does not have to be in Toton, but choosing local means that you can go in if required, for instance, if a signature is needed urgently. Also, a Toton solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local property lawyer) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
