Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Tring. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tring and other areas of 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 mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I am purchasing a new build house in Tring with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
