We are purchasing a new build duplex in Yorkshire Dales and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am under pressure to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company 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.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Yorkshire Dales. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yorkshire Dales
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Yorkshire Dales I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yorkshire Dales suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Is it possible to transfer to a new firm as I have to retain a firm on the TSB conveyancing panel. I hired a local conveyancing solicitor in Yorkshire Dales five minutes from me but the firm is not accepted by TSB

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Yorkshire Dales
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Yorkshire Dales conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
