I am purchasing a new build house in Woodingdean with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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%.
