I am buying a new build house in Upney benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Upney I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Upney in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
