Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Twickenham Park who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper online property lawyer?

The quote is slightly on the expensive side. Where you are willing to spend time contrasting costs you may be able to trim some of the expense by as much as £125. On the other hand, if you were content with the service the firm gave you maylive to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to be sure that the firm can also act for Chelsea Building Society. Do use our search tool to find a Twickenham Park conveyancing firm on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Twickenham Park.

We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Twickenham Park?

I am purchasing a new build house in Twickenham Park benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Twickenham Park I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Twickenham Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
