The loan agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom flat is to be issued imminently. Are you able to propose a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Manningtree?

You have arrived at the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Manningtree. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Manningtree. At best, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a hefty uplift in extras and still not receive the service expected.

I am purchasing a new build house in Manningtree with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Manningtree. I happened to land on a site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Manningtree conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Manningtree conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Manningtree conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:

Can they put you in touch with clients in Manningtree who can give a testimonial? How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Manningtree, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Manningtree with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2086

With only 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I am contemplating instructing an online property lawyer ahead of a Manningtree conveyancing firm. Any advice?

Numerous benefits exist in having the opportunity to visit a local Manningtree conveyancing solicitor for instance

• signing papers on short notice
• sometimes being able to speak to someone face-to-face can make a huge difference, particularly for more complex conveyancing
• the ability to complain if matters are not going as expected

When comparing quotes, look out for hidden extras. Most decent Manningtree high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Often online companies appear to offer low cost fees, but have burried 'extras' in the small print.
