The owners have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out agreements are contracts binding a home seller and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the premises for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will have a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally used for buyer protection though in many situations, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are rare in relation to conveyancing in Ruislip.
I'm buying a new build house in Ruislip benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with Aldermore. Is this normal?.
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.
