I'm purchasing a new build house in Charmouth with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have just been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold.

In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process.

The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations.
