I'm purchasing my first flat in Willingham with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Willingham , but I am anxious exchange. Do I have options?
One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Most property owners will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
