The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit.

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%.

Our mortgage broker has suggested using their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Wick - Surely it’s easier to just instruct them?

It is not always the case and you are at liberty to use whichever solicitor you prefer for your Wick conveyancing. The property lawyer suggested by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the right lawyer, they may suggest their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
