We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Lingfield who is on the Barclays approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Barclays . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Lingfield.

I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Lingfield. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lingfield and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am buying a new build house in Lingfield with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. 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.

How do I identify a Lingfield law firm on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel? I have wheels and am prepared to travel upto 20kilometers to meet the conveyancer.

Feel free to make use of the search on this website. Please choose the lender and your location and you will see a number of Lingfield conveyancing lawyers locally. We have listed some Lingfield conveyancing firms at the bottom of this page and you can contact them to check whether they are on the Coventry Building Society panel
