I'm purchasing a new build house in Bounds Green with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. 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.
