I am buying a property for cash in Builth Wells. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Builth Wells. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Builth Wells conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Builth Wells should provide you some constructive guidance concerning this.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Builth Wells. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Builth Wells relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Builth Wells 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
I'm buying a new build house in Builth Wells with a loan from Halifax. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with Halifax. 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Builth Wells I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Builth Wells for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
