I am buying my first flat in Marford with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact 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.

How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Marford, conveyancing was carried out in 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Marford with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2094
You have 68 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Marford. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount by the freeholder. To date we have issued a cheque for £295.50 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £118 for additional questions supplied by the purchaser's property lawyer.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any impact over the extent of the charges for this information however the average costs for the information for Marford leasehold property is £395. For Marford conveyancing sales it is conventional for the seller to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer these questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires set fees for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are duty bound to issue the information.
