Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Flitwick will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Flitwick.

I'm buying a new build house in Flitwick with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.

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 flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Flitwick I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Flitwick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
