I'm buying a new build house in Buxton with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Buxton I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Buxton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. 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 premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
