Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a property in Burwell but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price.

Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a Aldermore approved list is duty bound to advise Aldermore of any variations to the purchase price.

I'm buying a new build house in Burwell with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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 opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Burwell prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will not give a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Burwell.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Burwell. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Burwell, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension?

With only 53 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
