It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Aylsham conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the RBS approved list.

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.
As a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my appartment in Aylsham. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there remains around £1750 currently due.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this can hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears now. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
Do speak with the solicitor undertaking your Aylsham conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the debt to be passed to the purchasers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the fees post completion of the sale.
