My son-in-law is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Beddgelert with a home loan from Nationwide. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I'm buying a new build house in Beddgelert benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Beddgelert and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Beddgelert
My step-father has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Beddgelert. Should I use them?

What are the frequently found defects that you see in leases for Beddgelert properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Beddgelert is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A duty to insure the building Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Beddgelert, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Beddgelert with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2100
With only 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
