I opted for a high street firm for our conveyancing in Hindley today. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to select an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hindley?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that such schemes tend not to cover outlay such as Hindley conveyancing search charges.

I am buying a new build house in Hindley with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would impact my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Hindley I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hindley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
