What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Nettleham?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Nettleham or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Nettleham an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am buying a new build house in Nettleham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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 put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Nettleham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Nettleham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nettleham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nettleham 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 property.

I'm buying a house in Nettleham. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
