Padstow leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Padstow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS 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 Padstow conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

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.

We own a leasehold flat in Padstow. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Padstow domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - usually ninety nine years when they started. However many appartments in Padstow were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years remaining. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to 75 years. To maximise your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
