I am buying my first flat in Islington with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may affect my loan 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.
