Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Colwyn Bay. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Colwyn Bay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I am buying my first flat in Colwyn Bay benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. 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 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.

If a Colwyn Bay lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years before you are eligible to extend the lease. Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that will increase the maintenance fees? Who manages the block?
