Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Foots Cray. My lender is Platform

Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 23/8/2025, the requirements read as follows :

I am purchasing a new build house in Foots Cray with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Foots Cray prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not issue a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Foots Cray.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Foots Cray

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Foots Cray conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Foots Cray. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Foots Cray - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Foots Cray. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
