I decided to go with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Aylesford yesterday. Looking through the small print I noteI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Aylesford?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset the transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that such arrangements rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Aylesford conveyancing search charges.

Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian house in Aylesford. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Coventry Building Society to clarify?
You need to read 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 Aylesford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying my first flat in Aylesford with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.

Last February I purchased a leasehold flat in Aylesford. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
