My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing apartments in Yiewsley and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Barclays.

It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Yiewsley building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Yiewsley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I'm buying a new build house in Yiewsley benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

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.
