I am purchasing a new build house in Barbican with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Barbican in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
