I am buying my first flat in Dover with a mortgage from Halifax. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dover is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Dover are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dover you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dover may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I own a leasehold flat in Dover. Conveyancing was completed in 21012. I have been told that I should not allow the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?

Dover domestic long term leases are for a set period - often 99 years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Dover were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have less than 80 years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to 75 years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
