My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst Green. I I would like to check whether they are on the Alliance & Leicester approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

The first thing to do is phone your lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively please call Alliance & Leicester who may be able to help.

I am buying a new build house in Hurst Green with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with HSBC Bank. Is this normal?.

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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Hurst Green before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hurst Green.
