I am purchasing a new build house in Warwickshire with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

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.

Flying freeholds in Warwickshire are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Warwickshire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Warwickshire may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.
