A friend advised me that where I am purchasing in Arnside I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Arnside conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Arnside around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Arnside.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Arnside concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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 am buying my first flat in Arnside with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Taking into account that I am about to part with 450k on a house in Arnside I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehouse move before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Arnside.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Arnside should be the figure that you end up paying.

My folks are unable to locate their Arnside land registry title on the website. They recall that back in the 70’s when they acquired the property there were complications concerning the address not being identified on some systems.

Nearly all properties in Arnside should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Normally it should disclose all the residences inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
