I am purchasing my first flat in St Johns with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in St Johns. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in St Johns - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

We have reached the end of our tether in seeking a lease extension in St Johns. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a St Johns conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a St Johns flat is 73 Walerand Road in August 2012. the result of the findings of the Tribunal led to a premium to be paid for the extended lease in respect of Flat 73 in the sum of £10,040. The premium applicable in respect of Flat 85 was £5,710. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72 years.

We have been told by various family members to expect up to two months for St Johns conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only sent from the vendors conveyancer yesterday so does the clock start running now?

Don't rely on moving on a certain date until contracts are exchanged. Regardless of the promises the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your estate agent makes don't bank on them. More stress is caused to buyers and sellers by false assurances than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in St Johns.
