We had appointed conveyancers locally in Branston on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further sum for dealing with the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Branston conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Nottingham panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
I am buying my first flat in Branston with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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%.
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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Branston I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease.

If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
