Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Blyth. My lender is Virgin
Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 7/6/2023, the requirements read as follows :
I am buying a new build house in Blyth benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Blyth in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

What makes a Blyth lease problematic?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Blyth. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property A duty to insure the building
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Barnsley Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
