I am buying a new build house in Great Harwood with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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%.
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.

They would have to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

What makes a Great Harwood lease defective?
Leasehold conveyancing in Great Harwood is not unique. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, Skipton Building Society, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
