My husband and I are purchasing a brand new apartment in Swiss Cottage and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Swiss Cottage but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Swiss Cottage
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Swiss Cottage conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I am planning to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Swiss Cottage. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent however this can only be done after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Swiss Cottage or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Swiss Cottage.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Swiss Cottage property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Swiss Cottage I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swiss Cottage suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
