I'm purchasing my first flat in Potters Bar benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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%.
