Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Leighton Buzzard who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Barclays . It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

I am hoping to complete my purchase in Leighton Buzzard next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Leighton Buzzard. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Leighton Buzzard and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Leighton Buzzard benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Halifax. Is this normal?.

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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Leighton Buzzard ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Leighton Buzzard.
