I am buying a new build house in Claverdon with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. 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%.
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.

Builders have recommended to me a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my own Claverdon property lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should keep with your local Claverdon conveyancer.
