What will a local search tell me concerning the house I am buying in Bromyard?

I'm buying a new build house in Bromyard with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bromyard prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bromyard.

Are there common defects that you see in leases for Bromyard properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bromyard. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Bank of Scotland, and Britannia all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Bromyard, conveyancing having been completed January 2006. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bromyard with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2102

You have 77 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
