I need some fast conveyancing in Burntwood as I am faced with an ultimatum to complete inside one month. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

I am purchasing my first flat in Burntwood with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Burntwood. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Burntwood, conveyancing having been completed April 2001. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Burntwood with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2100

You have 75 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

We are hoping to purchase a repression house in Burntwood and the bank selling would like to complete inside a week. Can a solicitor complete in this timeframe? Am I best advised to select a local Burntwood firm or an online firm that professes to complete quickly?

Attend your Burntwood shopping parade. Go in to 3 solicitor’s offices and ask to talk to a conveyancing solicitor for an estimate. Discuss your needs and try and obtain a commitment on time frames. Choose the firm that seems most efficient. Be sure to select a lawyer on the panel of conveyancers who can act for your mortgage company.
