I am purchasing property in Ladywell. My lawyer has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Can I still use my Ladywell conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?
You will need to instruct a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could select a Ladywell conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they can do so.
I am acquiring a newly built flat in Ladywell and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. 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 wife and I have instructed a Ladywell conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with property lawyer?
