Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Maltby who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were pleased with the service the firm provided you mightlive to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. If is important to ensure that the firm can act for Bank of Ireland.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Maltby benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would affect my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.

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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Maltby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Maltby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Maltby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maltby may determine 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.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Maltby

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Maltby conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
