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%.

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 opted to have a survey done on a property in Boroughbridge before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Boroughbridge. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Boroughbridge based firm who is on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?

If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Boroughbridge that you're thinking of instructing.
