I'm purchasing a new build house in County Durham with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage 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 happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in County Durham which is to be marketed. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is done before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
