My husband and I are acquiring a newly built apartment in Milton Keynes Village and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Milton Keynes Village but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Milton Keynes Village conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
