I'm buying a new build house in New Ferry with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Skipton Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in New Ferry before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold property.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in New Ferry

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred New Ferry conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.

Builders have put forward a lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my own New Ferry solicitor. Should I use them?

Developers frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street New Ferry property lawyer.
