We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Grassendale on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional fee for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by UBS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by UBS but by your Grassendale conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I'm spending time looking at houses in Grassendale and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Nottingham.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian house in Grassendale. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Grassendale and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I'm buying a new build house in Grassendale with a mortgage from Santander. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it would impact 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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Grassendale is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Grassendale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Grassendale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grassendale may determine 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.
