My wife and I are purchasing a newly constructed apartment in Broadclyst and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
