A friend recommended that where I am buying in Great Harwood I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I am purchasing a new build house in Great Harwood with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Great Harwood I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Great Harwood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we use their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Great Harwood
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Great Harwood conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
