I am purchasing my first flat in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Sixweeks into purchasing a property in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact our mortgage valuation?
Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a significant effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
