I am mortgaging my apartment in Coombe, does my lawyer need to be on the Skipton Conveyancing panel?

My offer was accepted on a property in Coombe on 10/6/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Are HSBC entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

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

My offer on a detached house in Coombe has been accepted, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Coombe. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays started?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Coombe conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Barclays approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Coombe.

I am buying a new build house in Coombe benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.
