Please help. My Enfield Wash conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Enfield Wash conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Enfield Wash checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Enfield Wash conveyancing searches.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Enfield Wash conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Enfield Wash accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Wash. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Enfield Wash conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Enfield Wash.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Enfield Wash benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
