As someone unfamiliar with the Christchurch conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Christchurch
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Christchurch and elsewhere in Dorset is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Christchurch is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a distinct creep of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I'm buying a new build house in Christchurch with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it could 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.
