What does a local search inform me regarding the house I am purchasing in Rishton?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Rishton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage 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.
Should I be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Rishton conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to use. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Rishton
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Rishton conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Rishton. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Rishton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
