I'm purchasing my first flat in Scunthorpe benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

My mum and dad are encountering problems in finding their Scunthorpe land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that back in the 70’s when they bought the property there were complications concerning the post code not being identified on some systems.
Almost all residences in Scunthorpe should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it should reveal all the houses and flats within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s bank.
