However these days you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first providing proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill.

Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor must retain this information on record.

I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Irthlingborough. The Irthlingborough property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

I am buying my first flat in Irthlingborough with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

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%.

Last October I purchased a leasehold property in Irthlingborough. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
