Do I need independent legal advice?

Gen H requires income and deposit boosters to get independent legal advice.

This is to make sure that they understand their legal obligations as a booster, the risks involved, and their rights regarding the transaction.

For this reason, it is important you receive advice from a solicitor independent of the purchase – meaning you can't use your conveyancer.

Who can provide this advice?

It is important that this advice is received by a solicitor who is not involved in the purchase transaction.

You are able to use a solicitor from the same firm that is doing your conveyancing, but it can't be the solicitor already working on your case.

They must also be registered with the Law Society.
