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%.

Is it best to instruct a Wisbech conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can deal with the legal work however his firm is located 400kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Wisbech conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Wisbech conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
