The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
