I am purchasing my first flat in Cramlington with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

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.

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
