I was notified recently by my IFA that my Booker the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?

I am purchasing a new build flat in Booker and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Booker?
If you are buying a property in Booker your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this should be needed immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the day of completion.
What is the optimum way to discover of the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Booker is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Leeds Building Society thus spending £175.00 in another set of conveyancing charges.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
