Due to complete my purchase in Ferndale next Friday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ferndale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We had instructed solicitors locally in Ferndale on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Ferndale property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Ferndale. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Ferndale with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it would 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.
