I am buying my first flat in Pontypool with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with HSBC Bank. 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.
Myself and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to locate a solicitor in Pontypool on the panel for HSBC.
