I'm buying a new build house in Leaves Green with a loan from Clydesdale. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

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 own a a ground floor purpose built flat in Leaves Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Leaves Green property is 1 Southlands Court Southlands Road in September 2013. The Leasehold Valuation Tribunal determined that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 was £30,541 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 50.57 years.
We own a leasehold flat in Leaves Green. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too low. Is this right?
Leaves Green leasehold properties are for a set term - often just under one hundred years when they started. However many appartments in Leaves Green were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so such leases now have less than eighty years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
