I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Urmston for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

I am purchasing a new build house in Urmston with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
