We are acquiring a newly constructed duplex in Netherley and my solicitor is informing me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and my preference is not to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Is it the case that all Netherley solicitor firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Nationwide as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in Netherley. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Netherley solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nationwide would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Netherley agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Netherley. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Netherley conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.
I am purchasing my first flat in Netherley with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Netherley with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Netherley can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Netherley leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than ongoing. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Netherley charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Netherley.
