I'm buying a new build house in Burscough with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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%.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Burscough conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Burscough conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Burscough conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
What are the costs for lease extension work? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?

Are there any major works in the planning that will likely increase the service fees? Where a Burscough lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years before you are eligible to extend the lease.
