I am purchasing a flat in Bredon. My property lawyer is not on the bank conveyancing panel. Can I still continue with my Bredon conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?

Various options include

• Proceed with your preferred Bredon property lawyer but your lender will no doubt retain a lawyer on their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and potential interruption.
• Appoint a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
• Appeal to your conveyancer to seek to join the lender panel

My nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Bredon with a mortgage from Nationwide. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bredon. The Bredon property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public over the internet. If you are in need of a Bredon conveyancing practitioner on the Barclays please use our tool.
