I'm purchasing a new build house in Bounds Green with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

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.
