I'm buying my first flat in Colsterworth with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
