I was advised today by my financial adviser that my Merriott property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
You need to contact your Merriott conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Merriott conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
I'm buying my first flat in Merriott with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. 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%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Merriott is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Merriott are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Merriott you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Merriott may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Merriott?
Conveyancing - in Merriott or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
