I am buying an apartment in New Inn. My lawyer is not on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my New Inn conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options include
- Carry on with your chosen New Inn conveyancer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly appoint a conveyancer on their approved panel. This will result in additional charges together with probable frustration.
- Get a fresh property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the bank panel
I'm buying a new build house in New Inn with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in New Inn I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in New Inn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am 17 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in New Inn. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
They would need to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the replacement conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.

We are in the midst of selling our flat in New Inn. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the managing agents. So far we have forked out £225 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for supplemental questions raised by the purchaser's lawyer.
Your solicitor will unlikely have any impact over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for New Inn leasehold property is £360. When it comes to New Inn conveyancing deals it is usual for the vendor to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to address these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates capped fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any statutory time frame by which they are required to supply the information.
