What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Warwick?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Warwick and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Warwick should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am purchasing my first flat in Warwick with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. 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.
