I am purchasing a new build house in Henfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.

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%.

Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Henfield conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

I need to switch lawyers as my Henfield lawyer is not on the lender's panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?

If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to start work and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Henfield that you're thinking of instructing.
