Our lawyer has discovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Knighton. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Knighton conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Knighton.

I have a renovated Georgian house in Knighton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Knighton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

I am purchasing my first flat in Knighton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could affect 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.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Knighton ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Knighton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
