I am buying my first flat in Desborough with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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 CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Desborough I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Desborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

A couple of months ago I was told by my lender that their approved lawyers operate no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Desborough. Our purchase fell through and now the conveyancers want search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!

By promising "no move no fee" Desborough conveyancing lawyers are foregoing their fees for any work carried out. We must stress this does not constitute an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the solicitor have to pay money out to independent parties, for instance Desborough local search fees
