I am buying my first flat in Redland with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 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 two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Redland is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Redland are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Redland you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Redland 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.
Developers have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 cheaper than my family Redland property lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they want exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Redland conveyancer.
