I'm purchasing a new build house in Penn with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Chelsea Building Society. 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Penn is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Penn are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Penn you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penn may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Penn?
Where a Penn property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a sale your lawyer would simply be asked to evidence as to the reason the co proprietor is not a party to the contract, such as the probate documents.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you may arrange to have the deceased person erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
