I am buying a new build house in Romiley with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
