Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Principality or the broker and complete any appropriate forms.

I'm buying my first flat in Woodside with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Woodside I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Woodside in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Woodside. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Woodside - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
After years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Woodside. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
