My partner and I are purchasing a newly built duplex in Armthorpe and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I would rather not delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Armthorpe before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on such a house.

I would like to let out my leasehold apartment in Armthorpe. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Armthorpe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
