I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Kington?

Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and see if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Kington.

I am purchasing my first flat in Kington benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

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 quick, no chain conveyancing. Kington is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

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

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kington. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Kington - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
