My best friend’s uncle is a conveyancer. I expect that I will receive friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Audley?

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Audley. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Audley agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Audley. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Audley conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Audley.

I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Audley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Audley conveyancing specialists.

I am purchasing a new build house in Audley with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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 am hoping to complete next month on a ground floor flat in Audley. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Is there a share of the freehold? The best form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders.
