My partner and I are purchasing a newly constructed flat in Colerne and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer.

The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Colerne is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Colerne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Colerne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colerne may ascertain 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 property.
