We are looking to buy a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Market Deeping who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local 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 Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Market Deeping.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Market Deeping with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Market Deeping is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Market Deeping are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Market Deeping you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Market Deeping may decide 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 residence.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Market Deeping

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Market Deeping conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
