I'm buying my first flat in Knottingley with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Knottingley I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Knottingley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My wife and I about to exchange on the purchase a property in Knottingley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the vendor of £2k by way of a deduction in the price.
