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%.

My husband and I are buying a 2 room bungalowin Saffron Walden with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our solicitor in Saffron Walden yet our lender says he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Saffron Walden conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Saffron Walden lawyer?
No, not really. The bank home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Saffron Walden : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
