I'm buying my first flat in Knaphill benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Is this normal?.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Knaphill I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Knaphill 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 home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
