Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Winslow?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Winslow.

I am purchasing my first flat in Winslow with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. 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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Winslow I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Winslow for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
