I am purchasing my first flat in Easton with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Easton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Easton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Easton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Easton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Easton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Easton conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
