I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Chipping Norton. I have lived for the last twelve years in Chipping Norton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Chipping Norton conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Chipping Norton will provide you some constructive advice in this regard.

I'm buying a new build house in Chipping Norton benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Chipping Norton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chipping Norton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Am I right to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Chipping Norton conveyancing practice?

As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest solicitors to appoint. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.

My conveyancing in Chipping Norton is completing this Friday, yet the vendors I am purchasing off has asked to vacate on the Saturday PM. Do I agree to such a idea?

In situations where you require a loan then your conveyancing practitioner will demand that the premises arevacant on Friday - the lending institution will demand it.
