It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Parbold conveyancing search charges, etc).

I'm purchasing a new build house in Parbold with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.

We are in the process of selling our flat in Parbold. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the managing agents. To date we have issued a cheque for £237 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for additional queries raised by the purchaser's .

Neither you or your will have any say over the extent of the fee for this information but the average costs for the information for Parbold leasehold premises is £380. For Parbold conveyancing transactions it is usual for the vendor to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates fixed fees for administrative tasks. There is no legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.
