I am buying a new build house in Cotham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. 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%.
