I'm buying my first flat in Laleham with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it could affect my loan 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%.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Laleham.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service payments will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
