My wife and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Wolston and my solicitor is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Wolston I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wolston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Wolston and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
