Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Great Barford or throughout Bedfordshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Great Barford is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am purchasing a new build house in Great Barford with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
