I'm purchasing a new build house in Mexborough and Swinton with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Mexborough and Swinton before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to give a loan on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Mexborough and Swinton.
