I'm purchasing a new build house in Barking with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it will impact my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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%.

Flying freeholds in Barking are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Barking may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in Barking it shows results of numerous solicitorslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancing solicitor for the sale of my house?

The best method of choosing the right conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have bought a property in Barking or the respected estate agent or financial adviser.
