Our son-in-law is buying a new build apartment in Stilton with a mortgage from Aldermore. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Stilton. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Stilton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are planning to move property in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Stilton. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only happen once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Stilton or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Stilton.
The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Stilton. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Stilton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stilton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
In searching the web for the words on line conveyancing in Stilton it shows results of many property lawyerslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancing solicitor for my move?

Costs for conveyancing in Stilton vary, so it's advisable to obtain at least three estimates from varying types of companies. Dont forget to clarify that the fees are fixed.
I work for a reputable estate agent office in Stilton where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Stilton conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I own a ground floor flat in Stilton, conveyancing formalities finalised September 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Stilton with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
With just 66 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
