I have a semi-detached Victorian property in Wotton under Edge. Conveyancing lawyer 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, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review 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 Wotton under Edge 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 position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I am buying a new build house in Wotton under Edge with a loan from Barclays . The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Wotton under Edge

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Wotton under Edge conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
