I was advised yesterday by my estate agent that my Chiseldon property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?

The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Chiseldon conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Chiseldon?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Chiseldon.

I am buying a new build house in Chiseldon with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage 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.

Expecting to sign contracts shortly on a basement flat in Chiseldon. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they are sending me a report on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Chiseldon should include some of the following:

Do you need to have carpet in the flat or are you allowed wood flooring? It needs to be made clear to you whether the lease permits you to change or improve anything in the flat- you should be made aware as to whether it applies to all alterations or just structural alteration, and whether permission is mandated necessary What options are available to the landlord where you are in breach of your lease terms? You should have a good understanding of the building insurance requirements Will you be prohibited or prevented from having pets in the property?

I bought a 2 bed flat in Chiseldon, conveyancing formalities finalised April 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Chiseldon with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2086

With just 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
