I'm buying a new build house in Llanrumney with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it may affect my loan with the bank. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Llanrumney I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Llanrumney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
