I am buying a new build house in Yarm On Tees benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it would affect my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
