I'm purchasing a new build house in Northolt benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my mortgage 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%.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Northolt I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northolt for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
