My mortgage broker requires my Marylebone law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have called my local Marylebone branch but they have not got back to me yet.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Marylebone conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the TSB conveyancing panel?

Marylebone conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.

I am purchasing my first flat in Marylebone with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. 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.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Marylebone. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Marylebone - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Marylebone conveyancing firm to represent me?
