I am purchasing a new build house in Epworth with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
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.

I bought a ground floor flat in Epworth, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Epworth with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2103
You have 77 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I'm remortgaging a house in Epworth. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
