We are soon to complete buying a house in Horwich but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer being on a HSBC approved list is duty bound to inform HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Horwich.
My Conveyancer in Horwich is not on the The Mortgage Works Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Mortgage Works approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Horwich solicitors but The Mortgage Works will need to retain a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees and cause delays.
- Choose a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are The Mortgage Works approved.
- Try to convince your The Mortgage Works solicitor to attempt to join the The Mortgage Works panel

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Horwich.
I'm buying my first flat in Horwich with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my loan with Leeds Building Society. Is this normal?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a property in Monmouth but live in Horwich.
