I am buying my first flat in Melling benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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 £245,000 and found one round the corner in Melling I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Melling suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Should they have been approached?

Your conveyancer being on the bank conveyancing panel is required to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase amount. If you did not allow your property lawyer to notify the price change to your bank then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the lender.
