I am purchasing a new build house in Headington with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Headington is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Nearly all properties in Headington should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should mention all the properties within that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which could be with your parent’s lender.
