Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Lincolnshire?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Lincolnshire will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Lincolnshire. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Lincolnshire.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Lincolnshire it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Lincolnshire commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Lincolnshire.
I am purchasing a new build house in Lincolnshire with a loan from Aldermore. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Lincolnshire I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lincolnshire in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may 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 current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Lincolnshire both have about fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Lincolnshire. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

The estate agent has recommended their property lawyer for my conveyancing in Lincolnshire - won’t it be easier to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever lawyer you decide for your Lincolnshire home move. A conveyancing practitioner recommended by an estate agent may not always be the right lawyer, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
