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.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Huntingdon I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Huntingdon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
