I'm purchasing a new build house in Yatton with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
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.
