I am purchasing a new build house in Cleator with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cleator is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cleator are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cleator you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cleator may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Cleator. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
