As someone not used to conveyancing in St Nicholas what is your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in St Nicholas

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in St Nicholas or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in St Nicholas is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My wife and I are purchasing a property in St Nicholas. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in St Nicholas. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?

You must advise Yorkshire BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in St Nicholas. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

I require expedited conveyancing in St Nicholas as I am faced with an ultimatum to complete in less than one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I am buying a new build house in St Nicholas with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage 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 house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. St Nicholas is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in St Nicholas are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St Nicholas you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.
