Where you are instructing a Bradwell conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable local providers
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bradwell building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Bradwell conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Bradwell with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Bradwell. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
