My partner’s brother is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I will receive preferential rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Cambridgeshire?

We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Cambridgeshire. We have hit a problem. Our loan offer with Clydesdale runs out on 23/9/2024 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 25/9/2024. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your issue is your solicitors who will hopefully calculate if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s representatives, selling agents or conceivably all three given the circumstances your conveyancing to date.

I am buying a new build house in Cambridgeshire benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with Barclays . 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cambridgeshire is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Cambridgeshire are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cambridgeshire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cambridgeshire may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
