I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Llanberis recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts.

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements such your Llanberis conveyancing search charges.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Llanberis with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
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.
