I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Tetbury. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tetbury and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I am buying a new build house in Tetbury with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
