I am purchasing a new build house in Highgate with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may impact my loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Highgate is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Highgate are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Highgate you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Highgate may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have been recommended by three or four local property agents in Highgate to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Highgate which have about 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Highgate. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
