I am purchasing a new build house in Croston with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead.

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%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Croston is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Croston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Croston
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Croston conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Croston has sent documents to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all houses in Croston should be registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Croston are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Croston that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Croston property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Croston conveyancing lawyers will be able to handle such matters but in the event that uncertainty prevails the conventional advice presently is for the seller to register the title first and then sell - this no doubt cause a prolonged transaction.
