We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Will need to check our missives 
    Missive is usually a standard short legal binding contract statement, they don't usually say anything about incentive. Best ask your solicitor asap - are they based locally from you? They should and must know, if not get them to ask seller's legal.
    The missives are the whole contract - it will contain details of any incentives.

    The OP's solicitor will know what the missives say, I think they'd be offended at the suggestion that they need advice on that from the developer's solicitor!

    I believe the OP's solicitor was recommended to OP by the building company themself and the OP had been charged several lump of ridiculous legal ££ by their solicitor so far - a common trap.
