My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Hazlemere and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Hazlemere conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hazlemere. Having lived in Hazlemere for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I am purchasing my first flat in Hazlemere benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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'm remortgaging my primary home to a buy to let mortgage with and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on a second property. The location we are looking at is Hazlemere. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this page to ensure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your solicitor will be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hazlemere

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Hazlemere conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have since found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Hazlemere. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Hazlemere are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Hazlemere so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Hazlemere conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.
