I'm purchasing a new build house in Rufford benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk 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 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.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Rufford ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
