I'm buying my first flat in Maryport with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Maryport is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Maryport are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Maryport you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maryport may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
What makes a Maryport lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Maryport. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

Insurance obligations
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Birmingham Midshires, Skipton Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

Myself and my wife have just had an offer accepted on a house and had meeting on Monday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to locate a conveyancer in Maryport on the approved list for HSBC.
