I am buying my first flat in Merseyside with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Merseyside is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Merseyside are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Merseyside you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Merseyside may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.

My cousin has urged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Merseyside. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have used the solicitor you're contemplating using.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Merseyside. Conveyancing and Britannia mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Merseyside who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Merseyside conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Merseyside, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Merseyside with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2080
With only 54 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
