We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Shildon but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

Any conveyancer that is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Nottingham of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Shildon.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Shildon?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Shildon. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm buying my first flat in Shildon with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Shildon and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to business tenants, granting the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
