I have finally had an offer on a flat in Whitley Bay agreed to, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Whitley Bay. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Whitley Bay conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Whitley Bay. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Whitley Bay and other areas of 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Whitley Bay with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal 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.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but reside in Whitley Bay. My conveyancer (based 200 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion.

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Whitley Bay
