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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Romford. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on 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.
