I'm buying a new build house in South Petherton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in South Petherton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in South Petherton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in South Petherton who can attest this legal document for me?
