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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Lending instructions to lawyers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are prepared to progress.
