I am purchasing my first flat in Twickenham Park with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. 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%.
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 ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Twickenham Park I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Twickenham Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
