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%.

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Calverton conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.
