You should call the solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to confirm.

I'm buying my first flat in Hackbridge with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Halifax. 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hackbridge is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
