I'm buying a new build house in Hackbridge with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. 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 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.
