My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a house in Canford Cliffs but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?

Any conveyancer being on the Barclays conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Barclays of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Canford Cliffs.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Canford Cliffs conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Canford Cliffs.

I am buying a new build house in Canford Cliffs with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a house in Swansea but I am based in Canford Cliffs. My conveyancer (approximately 250 miles from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Canford Cliffs to witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Canford Cliffs
