My wife and I are acquiring a newly built duplex in Chorlton and my conveyancer is informing me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Chorlton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Chorlton your lawyer will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this will be needed immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
