My wife and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Normanton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with UBS.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with UBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I'm buying my first flat in Normanton with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Britannia. 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.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Normanton I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Normanton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
