Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Temple but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Principality will not permit this. Why were they informed?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Principality approved list is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Temple.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Temple for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Temple conveyancing specialists.

I am buying a new build house in Temple benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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%.

I own a a ground floor purpose built flat in Temple. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for a lease extension?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Temple residence is Flat 89 Trinity Court Grays Inn Road in February 2013. the Tribunal found that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 should be £36,229.

Are there common deficiencies that you witness in leases for Temple properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Temple is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building A duty to insure the building

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Birmingham Midshires, Barnsley Building Society, and Aldermore all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Temple are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Temple in which case you should be shopping around for a Temple conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to carry out changes to the property.
