My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Brandesburton. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you advise?

The first thing to do is contact the conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Platform Home Loans Ltd who may be able to confirm.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Brandesburton 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to look for all the suitable documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Brandesburton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with Halifax. 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 last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Brandesburton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Brandesburton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brandesburton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brandesburton 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.
