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%.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Doncaster, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Doncaster with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With only 57 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
