I am buying my first flat in South Hackney with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would jeopardize 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in South Hackney I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in South Hackney for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 regarding this matter.
Do I need to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local South Hackney conveyancing firm?

You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
