When can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Hatton and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Hatton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hatton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am purchasing my first flat in Hatton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage 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.

My wife and I expecting to exchange buying a property in Hatton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your lawyer that is on the mortgage company approved list is duty bound to advise the bank of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
