I am buying a property without a mortgage in Coleshill. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Coleshill. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Coleshill conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it may be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Coleshill will be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
I purchased a freehold property in Coleshill but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Coleshill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Coleshill but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am purchasing a new build house in Coleshill benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may impact my loan 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.
