Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Grasmere. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Grasmere?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Grasmere building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Grasmere conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Grasmere. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I'm buying my first flat in Grasmere with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

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 have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Grasmere. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
