My wife and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Thorpe St Andrew and my conveyancer is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I don't want to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?

The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am purchasing my first flat in Thorpe St Andrew with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. 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%.
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.
