I'm buying a new build house in Knottingley with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with Barclays . Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Knottingley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Knottingley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a house in Knottingley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated compensation from the owner of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however my bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
The lawyer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to the lender of any amendments to the sale price. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to refrain from acting for you and the mortgage company.
