I'm purchasing my first flat in West Dean with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

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%.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in West Dean I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in West Dean in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My fiance and I may need to let out our West Dean 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a West Dean conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your last West Dean conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

You have 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings.
