Please help - my lawyer advises that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Flitwick conveyancing?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel conveyancers in Flitwick on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are looking for a Flitwick solicitor on the TSB please use our facility.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Flitwick. Are we obliged to choose a local Flitwick solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton panel.
The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Flitwick 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Flitwick with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Flitwick which have approximately fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
I bought a 1st floor flat in Flitwick, conveyancing was carried out July 2001. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
