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%.

Am I right to be concerned by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Bourne conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may recommend lawyers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Bourne. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Bourne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
