I am buying a new build house in Dosthill with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. 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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Dosthill I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dosthill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
