My partner and I are purchasing a newly built flat in Tyldesley and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to sign contracts and I have no desire to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

We are selling our flat in Tyldesley. Will the conveyancer have to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Tyldesley I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tyldesley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension 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 concerning this.
