As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Shifnal?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Shifnal or throughout Shropshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Shifnal should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am buying a new build house in Shifnal with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my mortgage with the lender. 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 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.
