I am purchasing a new build house in Leiston with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with HSBC Bank. 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Leiston is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Leiston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Leiston 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 Leiston may ascertain 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 property.
