Me and my partner are about to complete buying a house in Honor Oak but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Principality will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

Any solicitor that is on the Principality approved list is obliged to disclose to Principality of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Honor Oak.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Honor Oak completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.

Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Honor Oak?

Honor Oak conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally requires the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer.
