My partner and I are purchasing a new build apartment in Brown Edge and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and my preference is not to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Brown Edge. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Britannia approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is contact the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Britannia who may be able to help.

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian house in Brown Edge. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brown Edge and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Brown Edge I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brown Edge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
