We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?

Planning on purchasing a flat in Woodhouse Eaves. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Woodhouse Eaves with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
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.
