A couple of days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I am purchasing a new build house in Wallsend with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. 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%.
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 near me in Wallsend I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wallsend in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Wallsend. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
