I am buying my first flat in Gomersal with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.
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.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Gomersal. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Gomersal, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2012.
