I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Hilperton and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The property lawyer is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Hilperton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hilperton
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Hilperton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hilperton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
