I'm buying my first flat in West Barnes benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in West Barnes both have in the region of fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in West Barnes. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

My solicitors in West Barnes have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
