My husband and I are intending to purchase a 3 bedroom flat in Llanwrtyd Wells with a mortgage. We have a Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancer, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or keep our Llanwrtyd Wells as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. Another option that might be available is for your Llanwrtyd Wells conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Is there a search tool that I can utilise to find out if the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Llanwrtyd Wells is on the lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for thus spending £175.00 in another set of conveyancing bill.

I am purchasing a new build house in Llanwrtyd Wells with a mortgage from . The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may 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.
