I'm buying a new build house in Chatham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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