The Highams Park conveyancing firm handling our Highams Park conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Highams Park with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
