My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Felpham. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

I am purchasing a new build house in Felpham with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Felpham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Felpham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
