I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Dolwyddelan. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

I am purchasing a newly constructed flat in Dolwyddelan and my conveyancer is informing me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

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