Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am purchasing my first flat in Cambourne with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it may jeopardize 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%.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Cambourne I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cambourne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am downsizing from my property. My past lawyers have shut. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Cambourne if that affects matters.
