I am buying a new build house in Aberystwyth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with Coventry 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Aberystwyth I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aberystwyth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
What does commercial conveyancing in Aberystwyth cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Aberystwyth incorporates a wide array of guidance, provided by qualified solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Aberystwyth which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Aberystwyth is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the value of the premises. For most buyers and banks, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Aberystwyth conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

With just 75 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
We are in the process of acquiring a apartment in Aberystwyth. Can the conveyancing practitioner have the amount we are are buying for a secret from sites such as Zoopla. How can this be done?
HM Land Registry are legally obliged to disclose price sold information on the official title for domestic properties countrywide including premises in Aberystwyth. The Title Register is a public document, so HMLR would be breaking the law if they did not permit access to the register.
You can ask HMLR to withhold the amount paid entry however the response would be in the negative.
