I'm purchasing my first flat in Hoddesdon benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Hoddesdon I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hoddesdon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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.

How straightforward is it to use your search app to get a costs illustration from a conveyancing practitioner in Hoddesdon on the approved list for my lender?

1st select a lender such as National Westminster Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland or Platform Home Loans Ltd then specify your location a common one being Hoddesdon. Conveyancing organisations in Hoddesdon and further afield will then be listed.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hoddesdon. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hoddesdon - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I bought a ground floor flat in Hoddesdon, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Hoddesdon with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2086

With just 61 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £18,100 and £20,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
