My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Park. I I would like to check if they are on the approved list of lawyers. Can you help?

You should call the conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should call who may be able to help.

The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Bedford Park 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I'm buying a new build house in Bedford Park with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Bedford Park ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks may not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bedford Park. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Park to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Bedford Park. I have land on a site which seems to have the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
