I am buying a new build house in The Meadows with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Do I need to be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street The Meadows conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward solicitors to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
