I am purchasing a new build house in Tynemouth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
Am I right to be suspicious by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Tynemouth conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward solicitors to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many banks specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
