Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel).

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

I'm buying a new build house in Frinton On Sea with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect 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.

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
