I'm purchasing a new build house in New Beckenham with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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 near me in New Beckenham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Beckenham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in New Beckenham where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local New Beckenham conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
