I'm buying a new build house in North Ferriby with a loan from Halifax. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 £305k and found one close by in North Ferriby I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Ferriby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer 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 twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in North Ferriby to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I have recently realised that I have Seventy years unexpired on my flat in North Ferriby. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. In some cases a specialist may be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing North Ferriby.
