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.

That would normally be once you have the loan offer from your lender and valuation back, but if you wish to expedite matters you can start the ball rolling sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
