I'm purchasing my first flat in Cimla with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
