My friend's uncle is a conveyancing practitioner. I hope that I'll be able to get mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Niton?

My brother and I have recently bought a property in Niton. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Niton?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Niton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information ends up being misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Niton.

I am buying a new build house in Niton with a loan from Santander. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Niton I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Niton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Niton I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be conducting your conveyancing in Niton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Niton should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
