three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Great Yarmouth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am buying my first flat in Great Yarmouth benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Great Yarmouth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Great Yarmouth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Great Yarmouth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Great Yarmouth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current house to a BTL mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on another property. The location we are interested in is Great Yarmouth. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the transactions?

Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Assuming that they are the conveyancer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and requirements.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Great Yarmouth

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Great Yarmouth conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
