What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Moor Row?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Moor Row or throughout Cumbria is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Moor Row should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a distinct increase of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Moor Row and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Moor Row. Having lived in Moor Row for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Moor Row is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
