I'm purchasing a new build house in Barnard Castle with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. Is this normal?.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Barnard Castle I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barnard Castle for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
