You must advise us if there is any covenant prohibiting any disposition, assignment, sub-letting etc. of the whole of the property without the consent of any third party, or there is any restriction on resale e.g. options/pre-emptions/right to buy charges or similar arrangements that will affect our security. We will accept a restriction on the owner’s ability to mortgage/charge or assign/transfer the property only where it is not possible to have the restriction removed or varied and the restriction is confined solely to obtaining the lessor’s/transferor’s consent.

If consent is required then provision must be made in the transfer/lease /assurance that such consent cannot be unreasonably withheld.

The restriction on assignment in the standard form of Lease from the Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association Limited is acceptable to the Bank.

Where the Property is a former NIHE property you must ensure that the repayment of discount/option to purchase conditions will be fully complied with and/or that the NIHE charge is cancelled.

Please note that 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/mortgage. Our charge/mortgage 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.
