About to purchase flat in Brixworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Brixworth conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Brixworth benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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 inherited a ground floor flat in Brixworth, conveyancing was carried out May 2006. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Brixworth with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2095
With just 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
