How up to date is your database of Bingley solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Do HSBC send you an updated list?

Bingley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from HSBC directly.

I am buying a new build house in Bingley benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

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.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Bingley I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bingley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am hoping to sell a garage which is on a separate legal title with the land registry asking for 20,000 or so, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Barclays. Please can you recommend a cheapish property lawyer as the conventional £800-1000 reduces the return somewhat. Although I live in Bingley I dont need to use a Bingley conveyancing practitioner.
