This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Branston. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Branston?

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Branston for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I am purchasing a new build house in Branston with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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%.

I have been advised by two or three local selling agents in Branston to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?

My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Branston. Should I use them?
