I am purchasing my first flat in Newark benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Newark I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newark for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
