I am purchasing my first flat in Market Rasen benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Market Rasen is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Market Rasen are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Market Rasen you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Market Rasen conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Market Rasen conveyancing practice) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

-

Comparable flats in Market Rasen with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2087
