My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Burnage. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

I am purchasing a new build house in Burnage with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
