Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in New Milton with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in New Milton is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in New Milton is frequently higher than on a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of supplemental investigations required in dealing with the freeholder and managing agents to collate the evidence about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in New Milton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Milton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
