The North Sheen conveyancing firm handling our North Sheen conveyancing has identified a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I'm buying my first flat in North Sheen benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 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.
