I'm purchasing a new build house in Manningtree with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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 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'm converting the mortgage on my existing house to a BTL mortgage with Leeds Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further house. The neighborhood we are looking at is Manningtree. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and link together the two deals?

Do use our comparison tool on this page to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and needs.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Manningtree

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Manningtree conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £150,000 garden flat in Manningtree in 10 days. The freeholder has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Manningtree?

Manningtree conveyancing on leasehold apartments ordinarily necessitates fees being levied by managing agents :

    Answering pre-exchange questions Where consent is required before sale in Manningtree Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Manningtree leasehold premises is £350. For Manningtree conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply answers.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Manningtree, conveyancing having been completed March 2009. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Manningtree with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2089

With only 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £14,300 and £16,400 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

At long last our conveyancing in Manningtree is completing next Friday, yet the vendors I am purchasing off wants to move out 24 hours later at noon. Do I accept this?

You can't complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems are not operational.
