Having been referred to your organisation we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Marshalls Park listed on your site but have come across some other fee calculations on the internet seem cheaper – how come?

One can find plenty of conveyancers marketing theoretically looks to be cut price. Our recommendation is to think long and hard as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish over the quality of the conveyancing. Many of them accentuate a low fee as a headline but hide supplemental costs in the small print..

My fiance and I intend to remortgage our flat in Marshalls Park with Clydesdale. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Clydesdale had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I'm buying a new build house in Marshalls Park with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it may impact my loan with Skipton Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Marshalls Park and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the dueness to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
