We wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Bodfari with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We like our Bodfari conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society says his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

I completed on my house on 1 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Bodfari expressed confidence that it would be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Bodfari uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Bodfari is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am buying my first flat in Bodfari benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Bodfari. I happened to stumble upon a web site which looks to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
