As someone unfamiliar with the Bruton conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the house moving process in Bruton

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Bruton and elsewhere in Somerset is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Bruton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Bruton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bruton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Bruton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with Santander. 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.

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.
