The owners have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements promoted for Llanon conveyancing transactions?

This kind of contract isn't frequently used in Llanon, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaching the agreement, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

I am purchasing a new build house in Llanon benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Llanon where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Llanon conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Llanon Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Queries before Purchasing

If a Llanon lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Llanonlease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension. Are there any major works on the horizon that will add a premium to the service costs? It is important to be aware if window replacement or some other significant cost is due in the foreseeable future to be shared amongst the leaseholders and will materially impact the level of the service charges or require a one off invoice.
