I am acquiring a newly constructed apartment in Worsley and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Worsley. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can you advise?

How does conveyancing in Worsley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Worsley approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Worsley usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Worsley or who has acted in the same development.
