I'm buying a new build house in Market Drayton with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal 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 developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.

Is it really required? We have been in hold for the previous 2 weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Market Drayton to discover Conveyancing in Market Drayton in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole property - which is definitely preferable.
