Your estate agent will wish to be advised as to your lawyer's details (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list).

My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Wanborough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wanborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying a new build house in Wanborough benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Nottingham Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
