I'm buying a new build house in Gwersyllt with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it could affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Gwersyllt I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gwersyllt suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
