I'm buying a new build house in Dymock with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

All being well we will complete the disposal of our £200,000 flat in Dymock next week. The management company has quoted £336 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Dymock?
Dymock conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually requires the buyer’s lawyer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? Best to be warned whether a new roof is being installed or some other significant cost is coming up that will be shared between the leasehold owners and could well materially increase the the maintenance charges or necessitate a specific invoice. If a Dymock lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have owned the residence for a couple of years before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension.
