Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Blakedown so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

I am purchasing a new build house in Blakedown with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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 looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Blakedown I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blakedown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Blakedown basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Blakedown conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Blakedown do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
