I am buying my first flat in Binstead benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

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.

I was advised by a number of estate agents in Binstead to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Binstead. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Binstead - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
