Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will likely be be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with functional issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Shaw should be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Shaw last July but the buyer keeps telephoning daily to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

I am purchasing a new build house in Shaw with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

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%.
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.
