I am purchasing a new build house in Nettleham with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage 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 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%.

As with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
