In any area where there is a large amount of money constantly being pumped in and out of it, be it in business or any other part of life, it is a sad fact that there are always going to be those people who will be looking to make a quick buck, whether it be honestly or dishonestly.

This is an unfortunate fact of life, however it is a ill-guided and nave person who sees the world through rose-tinted spectacles, believing that everyone is as honest and pure as they may be that would never dream that anyone else would commit fraud.

Regrettably, the conveyancing process is one of these areas, and sharks who swim around in the property waters are looking to make an easy profit, with flagrant disregard for the law.

Fortuitously for all those who abide by the rules and wish that others would also, new rules have recently been introduced to prevent these people from having such easy access to our hard-earned cash; a Leeds conveyancing solicitor offers his views on the recent changes.

The new laws are aimed at preventing a problem that is rife within the country’s major cities, which is mortgage lenders falling victim to over-inflated property valuations. They state that developers and builders must reveal if they have offered anything from fitted bathrooms, free-plastered kitchens, cash backs or legal fees thrown in gratis, which is known in the industry as ‘buyers incentives’.

The Leeds conveyancing solicitor, who works for one of the city’s leading law firms states that because of the fraudulent activities that have occurred in the past, Leeds has seen a slump in the amount of house-hunters being able to buy new flats, as a result of the money lenders not wanting to become involved with such a deal, seeing as they are wary of lending to people wanting to invest in a new, city-centre flat.

He states that many of the Leeds’s city centre flats are being left vacant or being undersold, at detriment to the city’s economy as they simply cannot find anyone to purchase them for the original asking price.

If you are searching the market for a new flat, or even a new house and are in need of some top quality legal advice on the conveyancing process, then you should contact a Leeds conveyancing solicitor to see if you can find the bargain that you deserve.
