I'm buying a new build house in Wilmslow benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about this 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.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Wilmslow
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Wilmslow conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
