We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a Sandy based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Sandy.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Sandy and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sandy. Having lived in Sandy for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything.

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.

I am using a search engine for the phrase on line conveyancing in Sandy it reveals many conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancing solicitor for me?

Last October I purchased a leasehold house in Sandy. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I invested in buying a garden flat in Sandy, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Sandy with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091

You have 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
