I am purchasing a new build house in West Bromwich with a mortgage from Halifax. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my mortgage 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%.

Flying freeholds in West Bromwich are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside West Bromwich you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Bromwich may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
