I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Wells Next The Sea with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Wells Next The Sea with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank. Is this normal?.
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 leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Wells Next The Sea I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wells Next The Sea for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
