I am buying my first flat in Hazlemere benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Hazlemere I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hazlemere for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely 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 a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
