I'm purchasing my first flat in Woodley with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Woodley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Woodley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected 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 may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
