I am buying a new build house in Bootle with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my loan 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.

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 leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Bootle I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bootle for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

What are the frequently found defects that you see in leases for Bootle properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Bootle is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Skipton Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Bootle, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bootle with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2090

You have 65 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
