I am purchasing my first flat in Aintree with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. 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%.

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 opted to have a survey done on a house in Aintree prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Aintree. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Aintree - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
