I am purchasing a new build flat and my conveyancer is advising me that she has to reveal incentives from the builder as her practice is on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I dont want to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on the Together Personal Finance approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on Together Personal Finance). The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My house is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. it might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension . I have called Together Personal Finance on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My solicitor - who is on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told not they would not lend in accordance with their CML Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply dont know who is right
As long as the conveyancer is on the Together Personal Finance panel she or he must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for Together Personal Finance. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that Together Personal Finance will go ahead your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask Together Personal Finance to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the remaining number of years left on the lease.
