I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Aspley Guise building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Aspley Guise conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am purchasing a new build house in Aspley Guise with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. 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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Aspley Guise prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Aspley Guise. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Aspley Guise to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
