Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a house in Binfield but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Any solicitor that is on a HSBC approved list is required to advise HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Binfield.

We're in Binfield, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Binfield for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Binfield conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Binfield with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with HSBC 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.
