We have rather assertive vendors who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of preliminary agreement is unusual in Hengoed, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

We are purchasing a newbuild flat in Hengoed with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We use our Hengoed conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society advised that his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nottingham Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

I'm buying my first flat in Hengoed with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would adversely affect 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.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Hengoed and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to commercial tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
