We decided to go with a Cholsey based lawyer for my conveyancing in Cholsey last week. After carefully reading the Terms I noteI am liable for costs even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and choose an internet conveyancing company promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Cholsey?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract those transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that such schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for example Cholsey conveyancing search charges.
Our nephew is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Cholsey with a mortgage from Skipton. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Cholsey is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Cholsey is inevitably higher than on a freehold transaction.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Cholsey. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 Cholsey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying a new build house in Cholsey benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
