Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Northwich. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Northwich and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I am buying my first flat in Northwich with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
