I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Ryton. 95% of the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Ryton?
If you getting a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Ryton conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Ryton.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Ryton with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank. 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.
