I just acquired a flat at auction in Stone. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to choose a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the on the contractual date .

I am purchasing a new build house in Stone benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.
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.
