It is said that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Brompton conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

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.
