I am purchasing my first flat in Hermon with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hermon
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Hermon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Hermon. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a studio flat in Hermon, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Hermon with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2084
With 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £23,800 and £27,400 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
There are a number of properties in Hermon on unadopted roads. I am purchasing one such property. What would be the pros and cons of purchasing a house on a private road?
Hermon conveyancing solicitors are familiar with conveyancing houseson private. The solicitor will investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners pay into to maintain the road. Where one exists, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than council maintained.
