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%.
