Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Kidwelly so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders conduct their communications through Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you should check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
I am purchasing my first flat in Kidwelly benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Kidwelly I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kidwelly for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
