I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Upper Tean. Almost all the appartments are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Upper Tean?

Where you are obtaining a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Upper Tean conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Upper Tean.

I am buying my first flat in Upper Tean with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.
