My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Chapel En Le Frith but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Barclays will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancer that is on a Barclays approved list is obliged to inform Barclays of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Chapel En Le Frith with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
