I am acquiring a property for cash in Uckfield. I have lived for the last 20 years in Uckfield. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Uckfield conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with functional issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Uckfield will provide you some constructive advice in this regard.

When it comes to conveyancing in Uckfield obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Uckfield agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Uckfield. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Uckfield conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Uckfield.

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.

Last March I purchased a leasehold flat in Uckfield. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
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. It is an essential part 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).
