In the event thatI was to acquire a straightforward housein Goodmayes mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Goodmayes?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Goodmayes with a mortgage from Aldermore. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will impact my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
