My nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Long Hanborough with a home loan from UBS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Long Hanborough. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Long Hanborough on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Long Hanborough solicitor. Numerous firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Long Hanborough. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
I'm buying a new build house in Long Hanborough benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
