My friend's sister is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Long Itchington?

Do contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this page. The estimates will contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

All was ready to complete my purchase in Long Itchington next Tuesday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Long Itchington.

I am purchasing a new build house in Long Itchington benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 decided to have a survey completed on a house in Long Itchington ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks tend not give a mortgage on such a home.

I was advised by a number of selling agents in Long Itchington to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
