As a first time buyer what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Altrincham?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Altrincham or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Altrincham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I am buying my first flat in Altrincham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. 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 have been advised by a few estate agents in Altrincham to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Altrincham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Altrincham do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
