I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Turnpike Lane the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Turnpike Lane conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Turnpike Lane conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Turnpike Lane?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Turnpike Lane. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am purchasing a new build house in Turnpike Lane with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would 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 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%.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Turnpike Lane I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Turnpike Lane for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer 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 twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
