I'm buying a new build house in Kimberley benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Kimberley prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kimberley. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Kimberley to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another property. The neighborhood we are interested in is Kimberley. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two lenders and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
