I am buying a new build house in Burry Port with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
