My Conveyancer in Buxton has never been on on the Accord Mortgages Ltd Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Accord Mortgages Ltd list of approved lawyers?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Buxton solicitors but Accord Mortgages Ltd will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees and result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Accord Mortgages Ltd approved.
- Try to convince your Accord Mortgages Ltd based solicitor to seek to join the Accord Mortgages Ltd panel
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Buxton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Buxton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Buxton in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on this type of house.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Buxton
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Buxton conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
