I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Redfield. 95% of the appartments are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Redfield?

If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Redfield conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Redfield.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Redfield last May but our buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours to say their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened following completion?

I am buying a new build house in Redfield with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
