Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Heckmondwike who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for an alternative property lawyer?

I'm buying my first flat in Heckmondwike with a loan from Virgin Money. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Heckmondwike is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Heckmondwike are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Heckmondwike 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.

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 premises.

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business leaseholders, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end.
