I am purchasing a new build house in Ystrad Mynach with a mortgage from Santander. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
