I am due to complete on the purchase of a property in Stepney but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer being on the Virgin Money approved list is required to inform Virgin Money of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Stepney.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Stepney?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Stepney your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is payable against the sale price then this should be needed immediately before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due should be transferred a couple of days prior to the day of completion.

I'm buying my first flat in Stepney with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Stepney. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Stepney - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
