The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gedling is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Gedling are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gedling you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gedling may decide 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.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be very helpful.

On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
