As someone unfamiliar with the Murton conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Murton

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Murton and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Murton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I am purchasing my first flat in Murton with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Murton ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not give a loan on a flying freehold home.
