We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Clydesdale as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Motspur Park. Do we need to appoint a nearby Motspur Park solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Clydesdale do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Motspur Park bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Motspur Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your property lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Motspur Park with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.

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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Motspur Park before retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
