My wife and I are buying a new build apartment in Magor and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
At what point does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Magor and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Magor you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Magor)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Magor Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Magor Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Magor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Magor I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Magor in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
