Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Whittlesey but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Lloyds will not permit this. Why were they informed?

The conveyancer that is on a Lloyds approved list is obliged to inform Lloyds of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose 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 property lawyer for your conveyancing in Whittlesey.

I purchased a freehold premises in Whittlesey yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Whittlesey and has limited impact for conveyancing in Whittlesey but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Whittlesey 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be held by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

I'm buying a new build house in Whittlesey with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Skipton Building Society. 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Whittlesey I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whittlesey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
