I'm buying a new build house in Sowerby Bridge with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it could impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Sowerby Bridge I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sowerby Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
