I'm purchasing a new build house in Bozeat with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. 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%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bozeat is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Bozeat are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bozeat you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bozeat may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
