Me and my partner are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Nag's Head but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Leeds Building Society will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Any property lawyer that is on the Leeds Building Society approved list is duty bound to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Nag's Head.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a Nag's Head based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company to ask if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Nag's Head.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Nag's Head benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Nag's Head is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Nag's Head are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Nag's Head you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nag's Head 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 property.

I am due to consider quotes for conveyancing in Nag's Head from various property lawyer and choose one. Do I tell them to sit tight until I I have an offer accepted on a house.
You should only ask your conveyancer to start work and submit searches after the offer has been agreed to on the property particularly as Nag's Head conveyancing searches are not inexpensive.
