I am purchasing a new build house in Great Coates with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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%.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Great Coates

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Great Coates conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
