I am purchasing a new build house in Harwell with a loan from Virgin Money. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Harwell is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Harwell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harwell may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
We have been told by many family members to expect six to eight weeks for Harwell conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only received from the vendors solicitor last week so now does it countdown?
You should take with a grain of salt any assurance as to fast completion times. Rather you should enquire about the average time it takes for them to complete Harwell conveyancing deals and if they are willing to aim towards an agreed target date for your house move in Harwell
