I'm buying my first flat in Walton Le Dale with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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%.

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Walton Le Dale. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Walton Le Dale who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Walton Le Dale conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Walton Le Dale, conveyancing having been completed in 2005. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Walton Le Dale with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

You have 57 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus costs.

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 investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I bought a property in Walton Le Dale last 21/1/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?

It is your conveyancer that you should get in touch with in order to satisfy any questions which have arisen as part of the registration process for your Walton Le Dale property. Normal Walton Le Dale conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the previous owner’s conveyancer that they will help resolve any registration raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
