My husband and I are purchasing a newly constructed duplex in Almondsbury and my conveyancer is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
