We hired a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Ashbourne today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seeI am on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to use a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Ashbourne?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise the conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such deals rarely cover disbursements for instance Ashbourne conveyancing search costs.

I am purchasing a house and the conveyancer has referenced Chancel Repair to which the property may be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Ashbourne

Unless a prior acquisition of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Ashbourne to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Ashbourne?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Ashbourne. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am buying my first flat in Ashbourne benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my loan with Birmingham Midshires. 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.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am selling a residence in Neath but live in Ashbourne. My conveyancer (based 260 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Ashbourne who can attest this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Ashbourne based
