I am purchasing a new build house in Freshwater Bay with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it would affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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%.
