As someone with no idea as to the Appleton conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Appleton
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Appleton and elsewhere in Cheshire is an adversarial process.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Appleton will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Appleton.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Appleton with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
At what point do I cover the costs of stamp duty chargeable for my Appleton flat purchase?
