I am purchasing a new build house in Wigston with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. 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%.
