I am buying a new build house in Queensbury with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Nottingham Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Queensbury
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Queensbury conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
