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.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Somerstown

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Somerstown conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
