Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hingham is more expensive?

I am planning on selling our house in Hingham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hingham conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hingham. We have lived in Hingham for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I'm buying a new build house in Hingham with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could impact my loan with National Westminster Bank. 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%.

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.
