About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in Dalton in Furness. The estate agents tell me that it is usual for flats in Dalton in Furness to have less than 75 years unexpired on the lease. I am getting a mortgage with Platform. Is this going to be a problem if the lease has Seventy One years unexpired.

Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 17/9/2026 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

I completed on my flat on 11 August and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Dalton in Furness said it will be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Dalton in Furness particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dalton in Furness registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying my first flat in Dalton in Furness with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
