Planning on purchasing a apartment in Newton-le-Willows. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Newton-le-Willows property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build house in Newton-le-Willows with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Newton-le-Willows I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Newton-le-Willows in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Newton-le-Willows can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors.

It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Newton-le-Willows. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute.

It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your conveyancers.
