I am buying my first flat in Cuckfield with a mortgage from Barclays . The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Barclays . 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cuckfield is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Cuckfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cuckfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cuckfield may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My dad completed his conveyancing in Cuckfield 7 years ago. He has got married, widowed and has recently remarried. He will be marketing the property next January. I believe he will just be need to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the lawyer however he is concerned it could delay the sale of the apartment. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the proof needed to show how the name change occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer will check the registered information and ask for evidence to establish the name change for instance marriage documentation.
