I plan on buying a leasehold flat in Llanharan. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to retain my Llanharan conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
Various options include
- Proceed with your preferred Llanharan solicitor but your bank will need to use a conveyancer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and potential frustration.
- Get a fresh conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to get listed on the bank’s panel of solicitors
My son-in-law is purchasing a new build apartment in Llanharan with a home loan from Yorkshire BS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My relative advised me that if I am buying in Llanharan I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Llanharan conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Llanharan around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Llanharan Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Llanharan Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Llanharan.
I am purchasing my first flat in Llanharan with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may affect my loan with Aldermore. 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Llanharan I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Llanharan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
