I'm buying my first flat in Bury St Edmunds benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. 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%.
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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bury St Edmunds is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Me and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Bury St Edmunds on the approved list for HSBC.
