I'm buying my first flat in Thirsk with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

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.

Corresponding flats in Thirsk with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2098
