We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Shooter's Hill conveyancing lawyers were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS completed the valuation? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We were going to get a AIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Shooter's Hill solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Shooter's Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

I am purchasing a new build house in Shooter's Hill with a loan from Aldermore. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a terraced house in Shooter's Hill I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehouse move in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
