I am purchasing a new build house in Cawthorne benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with TSB. Is this normal?.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Cawthorne
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Cawthorne conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
