I'm buying my first flat in Canning Town with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Canning Town I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Canning Town for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Should I be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Canning Town conveyancing firm?

As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

My husband and I have had DIP from who suggested that they will lend up to £300k. At what point do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Canning Town is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to instruct a now requesting that they open a file on your behalf. This will trigger: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s to submit the draft paperwork. That being said, do not ask your to start searches until you receive your valuation report from and you are willing to move forward.
