I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a local Edenbridge conveyancing lawyer?
In the main conveyancing practitioners in your area will benefit from good connections with your local authority, which could assist with the Edenbridge conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will require. It can only be a plus if they have good rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Edenbridge, other lawyers in the neighbourhood and Edenbridge Estate Agents.
I am purchasing my first flat in Edenbridge with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could affect my loan 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Edenbridge. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Edenbridge - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a garden flat in Edenbridge, conveyancing formalities finalised July 2001. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Edenbridge with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080
You have 54 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information 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. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Edenbridge which will be marketed. The house has never been registered at HMLR and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is completed before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
