Last February we completed a house move in Skellingthorpe. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Skellingthorpe?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Skellingthorpe. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a document referred to as a SPIF. answers proves to be inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Skellingthorpe.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Skellingthorpe. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Skellingthorpe. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I'm buying my first flat in Skellingthorpe with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Skellingthorpe is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Skellingthorpe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Skellingthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Skellingthorpe 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.
