I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Doncaster. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Barclays have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Doncaster has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Barclays or the financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Doncaster.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Doncaster?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Doncaster. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm buying a new build house in Doncaster benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would put at risk 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.
