I am buying a new build house in Newport with a mortgage from TSB. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with TSB. 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 input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Newport ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not grant a loan on such a property.
