I'm buying a new build house in Roath with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.

If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Roath conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
