I'm buying my first flat in Chippenham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Chippenham to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Chippenham which have approximately fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
