IfI were to acquire a simple residential homein Lakenheath mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Lakenheath?
The sole saving you would make on is the Lakenheath conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.
I own a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Lakenheath. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 proprietor 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 mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I'm buying my first flat in Lakenheath with a loan from Halifax. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Halifax. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
