In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Shenley conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this.

On occasion premises with day to day issues can still reveal adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Shenley should provide you some constructive advice here.

I am purchasing my first flat in Shenley with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. 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.
