I'm purchasing my first flat in Bourton on the Water with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
