I am purchasing my first flat in Stony Stratford with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Stony Stratford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Stony Stratford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
