Refusal to disclose this may lead to your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I'm buying a new build house in Rawcliffe with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

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.

Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have owned the property for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. In the main the cost for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Rawcliffe require leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
