Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Brynmill who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?

The standard information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding.

I'm buying a new build house in Brynmill benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
