I am purchasing my first flat in Allestree with a mortgage from Barclays . The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Allestree I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Allestree for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated 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 could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Allestree Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries before Purchasing

    On the whole the cost for major works are not built into the service charges, although some managing agents in Allestree ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major works. Many Allestree leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the building set by the landlord. Should you buy the flat you will have to pay this contribution, usually quarterly accross the year. This may vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a large amount, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders enjoy control and although a managing agent is often employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.

When it comes to my conveyancing in Allestree should I be paying VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee

However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Allestree conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the property lawyer's time in submitting the funds this way.
