I am buying a new build house in Dukinfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it could impact 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.

What makes a Dukinfield lease unmortgageable?

Leasehold conveyancing in Dukinfield is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Chelsea Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society 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 provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Dukinfield, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Dukinfield with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2094

You have 69 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Dukinfield. I I would like to check if they are listed on the bank's conveyancing panel. Can you help?

You should call the lawyer to enquire if they are on the lender's approved list. Alternatively please get in touch with us and we can make some checks for you. Should the firm not be on the bank panel we can certainly arrange a reputable conveyancing solicitor in Dukinfield on the approved list for your lender.
