I'm purchasing a new build house in Farringdon with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Is planning consent required to convert a house into multiple appartments in Farringdon? This has taken place to a property next door to my house in Farringdon and was not aware of the conversion until after the works were done.
