IfI was to buy a straightforward homein Lakenheath for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Lakenheath?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the costs for searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Edwardian property in Lakenheath. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lakenheath and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying a new build house in Lakenheath with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Is this normal?.
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.
