I'm buying a new build house in Gosport with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. 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 leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Gosport I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gosport in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years 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 regarding this matter.
Do I need to be suspicious that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Gosport conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend lawyers to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
