I was told yesterday by my estate agent that my Rainford lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?

I am soon to exchange buying a house in Rainford but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Lloyds are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Any conveyancer being on a Lloyds approved list is required to inform Lloyds of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Rainford.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Rainford with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rainford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Rainford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rainford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rainford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Given that I am about to part with 450k on a house in Rainford I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about myconveyancing before instructing 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 liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Rainford.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Rainford should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

My partner has urged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Rainford. Do I take his advice?

No doubt it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.
