I'm purchasing my first flat in Hainault with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.
