My husband and I are purchasing a brand new flat in Danbury and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Danbury conveyancing?

The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

How can we tell if a Danbury conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Danbury getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Danbury off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I am hoping to sign contracts shortly on a basement flat in Danbury. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I own a ground floor flat in Danbury, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Danbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2080

With just 57 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I yesterday found out that one of the directors of the conveyancing practice acting on the purchase conveyancing in Danbury is an uncle of the vendor. Is this permitted?

As long as no conflict arises this is allowable. Where you are needing a home loan then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions on this. For example for Virgin as of 31/3/2023, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No and you must tell us immediately.
