I'm purchasing a new build house in Brown Edge with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage 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%.
