I am purchasing a new build house in Cwmcarn benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Cwmcarn from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Cwmcarn can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. Some Cwmcarn leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Cwmcarn conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Cwmcarn, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Cwmcarn with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2099
With 74 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
