I am purchasing a new build house in Needham Market with a mortgage from . The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.
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.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an maisonette in Needham Market accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have submitted an offer on somewhere, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Needham Market. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with ?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Needham Market conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your is on the conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market.
