I am buying a new build house in Woolton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it would affect my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Woolton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Woolton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
