I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Brough conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality done the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

We are downsizing from our home in Brough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brough. Having lived in Brough for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I'm buying my first flat in Brough with a mortgage from Aldermore. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Brough is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Brough are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brough may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a property in Brough I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning theconveyancing prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
