I am purchasing a new build house in Belford with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Belford I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Belford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Belford. I happened to chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all formalities done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Some months ago I was informed by my mortgage company that their approved conveyancers work on no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Belford. Our purchase fell through and now the solicitors want search fees! They say the fees are independent!

Belford conveyancing search costs are disbursements not solicitors costs as these are paid to independent parties.
