I require fast conveyancing in Surrey as I have a deadline to exchange contracts within 4 weeks. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I'm buying a new build house in Surrey with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will impact my loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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.

My wife and I may need to let out our Surrey ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Surrey conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Surrey conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Surrey, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Surrey with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091

With just 65 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Can you set a few of compelling benefits to using a high street property lawyer in Surrey

A significant proportion of house movers in Surrey prefer a local conveyancer so that they can attend the lawyer’s offices if they have problems, and to sign mortgage deeds rather than depending on the Royal Mail.

One could allege that there exists a distinct edge when using a lawyer local to a premises you are buying, due to the in-depth knowledge of the locality and potential local concerns - yet this is moot. Most conveyancers are now through email and could be any place in the world.
