My husband and I are spending time viewing apartments in Murton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Nationwide.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nationwide, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am purchasing my first flat in Murton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Murton I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Murton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Is it true that a Murton conveyancing practice has court proceedings brought against them by clients for failing to conduct the appropriate conveyancing investigations?

We are not aware of such a Murton conveyancing claim but according to a recent report, clients purchasing a home elsewhere in England successfully won a claim against their property lawyer as a consequence of development plans to construct a wind farm failing to be identified in conveyancing searches.

Where you are purchasing in Murton It is important that your solicitor purchase all Murton conveyancing searches required to ensure you have relevant and up to date information ahead of buying a property.
