I am purchasing a new build house in Beaworthy with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my loan with the bank. 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%.
