I am buying my first flat in Harlesden with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Is this normal?.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Harlesden
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Harlesden conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
