I own a renovated Georgian property in Treforest. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Treforest and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying my first flat in Treforest with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Treforest I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Treforest suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Should I be suspicious about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Treforest conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
