I'm buying a new build house in Poulton Le Fylde benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
