I am purchasing a new build house in Grappenhall with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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 am attracted to a two maisonettes in Grappenhall which have approximately fifty years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Does the lease have onerous restrictions? Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that could add a premium to the maintenance costs? Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the property for two years before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension.
