I am buying my first flat in Thirsk benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. 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.

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Thirsk should include some of the following:

    Does the lease prevent you from subletting the property, or working from home Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice? It needs to be made clear to you if the lease allows you to change or improve aspects of the property- you should be made aware as to whether any restrictions applies to all alterations or limited to structural alteration, and whether permission is mandated necessary What you can do if another leaseholder in the building is in violation of a provision in their lease? Alterations to the premises

I bought a split level flat in Thirsk, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Thirsk with an extended lease are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2098

You have 72 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have just placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Thirsk and the estate agent that we are dealing with suggested his conveyancer. They quoted a thousand pounds plus VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?

Don't just go on 1 quote. You should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Thirsk. Then select one that you trust and just as important, is on the approved panel of the lender that you are sourcing your mortgage from.
