We went with a Hopton based solicitor for my conveyancing in Hopton yesterday. Looking through the official terms of business I seeI am liable for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an internet firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hopton?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these promotions generally do not protect you from outlay such as Hopton conveyancing search fees.

Would the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend conduct conveyancing in Hopton by way of an attended exchange?

There are a few conveyancing experts who can conduct 24hr exchanges. Please call us to get a fee calculation and details as to availability.

i am purchasing my first flat in Hopton with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
