My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Cranham but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet UBS will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Your solicitor that is on the UBS conveyancing panel is required to disclose to UBS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Cranham.
I'm buying a new build house in Cranham benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could jeopardize 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.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cranham prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

My wife and I may need to let out our Cranham ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Cranham conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Cranham conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Cranham. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

I am purchasing a maisonette with all finances in place. My conveyancer has been given with 2 separate forms of photo ID, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake DVD.

In order to comply with the law of money laundering, your Cranham conveyancing lawyer will need to obtain evidence of your identity as as well as make sure that your funds are legitimate.
