In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bloxham? What am I being asked for?

I'm buying my first flat in Bloxham with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bloxham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bloxham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
