I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Mirfield for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Mirfield conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying my first flat in Mirfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it would affect my mortgage 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.

My sealed bid on detached house in Mirfield was accepted, the vendor does however have a tied purchase. The current proprietors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Mirfield.

It is standard to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Mirfield conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to proceed with searches.
