I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Chadwell Heath. I have been living for the last 15 years in Chadwell Heath. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Chadwell Heath conveyancing searches are at your discretion.

On occasion premises with day to day issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Chadwell Heath will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

I am buying a new build house in Chadwell Heath benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it may affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. 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.

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.
