The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

I am buying a new build house in Shotley Bridge benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Shotley Bridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shotley Bridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
