In the event thatI was to acquire a freehold homein Melbourn mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Melbourn?

Any savings you would make would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. Your property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be significant.

What does a local search tell me concerning the house my wife and I buying in Melbourn?

Melbourn conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example PSG The local search is essential in every Melbourn conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search will provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Melbourn concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I'm buying my first flat in Melbourn with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it will put at risk 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.
