I'm buying a new build house in Osterley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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%.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Osterley?

For most leasehold sales in Osterley conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Completing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Osterley Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Osterley leasehold premises is £350. For Osterley conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply answers.

After months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Osterley. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Osterley property is Ground Floor Flat 91 Bath Road in May 2009. in a case where the freeholder could not be traced, the Brentford County Court ordered that the Lease be surrendered in return for the grant of a new lease of the Premises at a premium determined by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. The tribunal concluded that the price payable by the Applicant for the new lease of the premises be £15,900 This case affected 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.45 years.

I own a leasehold flat in Osterley. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have been told that I should not allow the lease length fall too short. Is this right?

Osterley leasehold properties are for a prescribed period - normally 99 years when they are first granted. However many flats in Osterley were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
