I'm purchasing my first flat in Hassocks with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. 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 issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hassocks is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Hassocks are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hassocks you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hassocks 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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hassocks

We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Hassocks conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
