I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Fenham. My lender is Platform
Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 9/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :
I'm buying my first flat in Fenham with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Fenham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fenham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Fenham I wish to talk to a solicitor concerning thehouse move prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
