We have very assertive vendors who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment 10k. Are such contracts generally advanced for Yarm conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract is unusual in Yarm, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered sufficient offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
I am purchasing my first flat in Yarm with a loan from Virgin Money. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Yarm is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Yarm are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Yarm you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yarm may decide 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.

Being a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my appartment in Yarm. As a result of personal circumstances I fell into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a payment schedule but there is still approximately £3000 due in arrears.
I am under pressure to sell and I am concerned this can jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the amount due first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this achievable?
It would be wise to check with the conveyancing practitioner carrying out your Yarm conveyancing but it might be possible to arrange for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the outstanding monies following completion of the sale.
