I'm spending time looking at apartments in Coedpoeth and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Virgin Money.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Coedpoeth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Coedpoeth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Should my lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Coedpoeth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Coedpoeth. There are those who acquire a property in Coedpoeth, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Coedpoeth. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Coedpoeth with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect 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.
