I'm purchasing a new build house in Ladywell benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Is this normal?.
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%.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Ladywell both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Ladywell. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
