I am buying my first flat in Northwood with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Northwood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Northwood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Northwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Northwood may determine 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.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Northwood to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than another?
We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
