Please note we do not lend on any property subject to an overage agreement.
Nationwide Building Society Issuing Office and for Resale Restrictions and Special Schemes please also ensure the scheme complies with our requirements as documented on our website at nationwide.co.uk/-/media/MainSite/documents/about/media-centre-and-specialist-areas/information-for-lawyers/low-cost-home-ownership-special-schemes.pdf . Please advise us if the restriction does not meet our requirements as the case will not be able to proceed.

Overage agreements will only be acceptable if: -
1.They are made subject to our charge. Our charge must have priority over the overage agreement. If the overage agreement is already in place, it must be postponed so that Nationwide’s interest ranks in priority.
2.Any restriction wording does not prevent the disposition by a mortgagee.
Any existing overage agreement and/or restriction that does not comply with the foregoing will need to be amended on or before completion.

If the overage agreement relates to developing new units/buildings on the land we do not need to be advised. If the agreement relates to the current building (for example developing it into flats, adding an extension or conservatory, or a loft conversion) please advise us of the terms of the overage in plain English. This material fact will be assessed to ascertain if we wish to amend or withdraw our offer.

Right to Buys: Acceptable if the pre-emption is for the Council to purchase at market value and the Council must complete the purchase within 20 weeks.
