As someone unfamiliar with the Beaminster conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Beaminster
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Beaminster and elsewhere in Dorset is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Beaminster is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Beaminster benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
