I'm buying a new build house in Snettisham with a mortgage from TSB. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Snettisham what are the most common lease problems?

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Snettisham, conveyancing was carried out in 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Snettisham with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078
You have 52 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.

We own a leasehold flat in Snettisham. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have read on numerous advice forums that I mustn’t let the lease length fall too short. What is the reasoning?
Snettisham residential long term leases are for a fixed period - often ninety nine years when they started. However a significant flats in Snettisham were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
