The search will reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

I am purchasing my first flat in Sandbanks with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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 father-in-law has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Sandbanks. Should I use them?

No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
