I'm buying a new build house in Warkworth with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with Britannia. 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%.

I can't really find anything else in Warkworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
