I am buying my first flat in Alcester benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Alcester is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Alcester are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Alcester you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alcester may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
