I am buying a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in East Acton who is on the Aldermore conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I'm buying a new build house in East Acton with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in East Acton
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred East Acton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a garden flat in East Acton. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they report fully next week. What should I be looking out for?
The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in East Acton should include some of the following:
-
You would want to be sent a copy of the lease Are pets allowed in the flat? The unexpired lease term. You should receive guidance as what happens when the lease expires, and informed of the importance of the 80 year mark You should know whether the lease permits you to alter or improve aspects of the property- you should be made aware as to whether it relates to all alterations or just structural alteration, and whether consent is required What you can do if an adjoining owner is in violation of a provision in their lease?
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a East Acton conveyancing firm to represent me?
if there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the amount due.

My offer on detached house in East Acton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing lawyer in East Acton. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, East Acton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Principality approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in East Acton.
