I'm buying a new build house in Cambourne with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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 am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Cambourne I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cambourne in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I am looking at a couple of apartments in Cambourne both have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

My sister purchased her house in Cambourne in 2008. She has since got married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. She now wishes to dispose of the Cambourne property. I think she will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however she is anxious it could frustrate the sale of the house. Is it worth updating the title documents for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register as long as you have the proof required to show how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s property lawyer should check the registered details and need evidence to establish the name change e.g. marriage documentation.
