We are acquiring a brand new duplex in Clophill and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Clophill last October yet the purchaser is texting every few hours to say their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

My wife and I are selling our house in Clophill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clophill. Having lived in Clophill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Clophill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Clophill come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Clophill typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Clophill or who has acted in the same development.
