Is it the case that all Whetstone solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Whetstone. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Whetstone and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

I am buying my first flat in Whetstone with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Whetstone before retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Whetstone. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Whetstone to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
