I am buying a property without a mortgage in Burwell. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Burwell. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Burwell conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion properties with functional issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Burwell will be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.
Will conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for my conveyancing in Burwell?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Burwell your lawyer will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be asked for immediately before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the day of completion.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Burwell and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Burwell lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Burwell. Having lived in Burwell for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying my first flat in Burwell with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. 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.

I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Burwell. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your last Burwell conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
