I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out flat in Caergwrle by 8/9/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they chase the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim towards
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary cause of obstruction in Caergwrle house deals. Is this right?

I am buying my first flat in Caergwrle with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
Should I go with a Caergwrle conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the conveyancing however they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Caergwrle conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were happy that should trump using an unknown Caergwrle conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
I’m about to sell my garden flat in Caergwrle. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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 am short of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Caergwrle , but I am anxious exchange. Do I have options?
You can agree a lesser deposit. Most sellers will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
