I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in South Brent for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company Nottingham Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in South Brent.

I'm buying a new build house in South Brent with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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%.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in South Brent
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted South Brent conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in South Brent?
Conveyancing - in South Brent or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
