Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Harlech

You are best placed to get this information from your Harlech conveyancer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Harlech and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?

Your lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Harlech yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Harlech and has limited impact for conveyancing in Harlech but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

I am purchasing a new build house in Harlech with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.
