Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of stalling in Lapworth house deals. Is this right?

Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Lapworth.

I am purchasing my first flat in Lapworth with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may impact my loan with the bank. 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Lapworth I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lapworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a residence in Newport but reside in Lapworth. My solicitor (based 260 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Lapworth who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Lapworth

My partner is buying a studio flat in Lapworth. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancing practitioner connected to the estate agents and it came to £1156 . It was seven years ago since I sold and bought a home and the bill was £495. Have costs really escalated to that extent?
