We are buying a property in Old Woking. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Old Woking. The Old Woking property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at houses in Old Woking and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Clydesdale.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Clydesdale, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Old Woking with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. 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.

Are there common deficiencies that you come across in leases for Old Woking properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Old Woking. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
You could have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and TSB all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I own a basement flat in Old Woking, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease?

With just 54 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
