I am purchasing my first flat in Wickford with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.

My uncle has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Wickford. Do I follow his guidance?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Wickford conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to have referrals from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor that you are considering.

I am looking at a two flats in Wickford both have approximately forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Wickford is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Wickford conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I acquired a studio flat in Wickford, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2002. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Wickford with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077

With 53 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Wickford being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the mortgage company approved panel?

We do not recommend specific Wickford firms as the right Wickford conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Wickford knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
