We have very assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary drawbacks with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Lutterworth conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the owner selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.
I am purchasing my first flat in Lutterworth benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Lutterworth I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Lutterworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
