I'm purchasing my first flat in Standish with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it may impact my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. 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%.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Standish I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Standish for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Standish and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Standish. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Standish area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Standish. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Newport but live in Standish. My solicitor (who is 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Standish who can witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Standish
