I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Sandiacre. I have been residing for the last 15 years in Sandiacre. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Sandiacre conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with functional issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Sandiacre will be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.

I'm buying a new build house in Sandiacre with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it could impact my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Sandiacre is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Sandiacre are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sandiacre you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sandiacre may ascertain 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 residence.

I invested in buying a basement flat in Sandiacre, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Sandiacre with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082
With just 56 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
