Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Lynton is more expensive?

The conveyancing charges on a leasehold premises in Lynton is inevitably higher than on a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the extra investigations required in dealing with the freeholder and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been cleared and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I am buying a new build house in Lynton with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Clydesdale. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Lynton before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on such a premises.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Lynton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
