I am buying my first flat in Kidbrooke with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could impact my loan 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.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kidbrooke prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kidbrooke.

Our conveyancer in Kidbrooke has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Kidbrooke. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the lender conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Just because you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your Kidbrooke conveyancing lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Requirements. You and the bank are the client.
