I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Wallington bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend.

The owners have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Wallington. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?

The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with the 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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
