Some advice if I may. My Sandown conveyancer is advising me that he has toorder Sandown conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. These Sandown checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Sandown conveyancing searches.
I'm buying a new build house in Sandown with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Sandown conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
