I'm buying a new build house in Claverdon with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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%.

Is there a reason that Claverdon conveyancing charges are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?

There is always more work needed for leasehold conveyancing. Claverdon has many leasehold properties. There is more hours involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
