We decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Wombwell today. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete.

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the conveyances that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that these schemes rarely cover disbursements for instance Wombwell conveyancing search charges.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Wombwell?

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wombwell for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Wombwell benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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 am looking at a couple of apartments in Wombwell both have approximately fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
