I am buying a house mortgage free in Clitheroe. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Clitheroe. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Clitheroe conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Clitheroe should be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Clitheroe 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 suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Clitheroe is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Clitheroe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clitheroe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clitheroe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Clitheroe to find Conveyancing in Clitheroe in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete block - which is definitely better.
