My wife and I are buying a newly built apartment in Beddington and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I have no desire to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Beddington?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers with offices in Beddington on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Beddington solicitor. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Beddington on 20/6/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Are Kent Reliance entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Beddington agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Beddington. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Beddington conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Aldermore approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Beddington being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our bank?

We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Beddington conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Beddington knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
