My friend's mother is a solicitor. I suspect that I will be offered preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Pagham?

I am purchasing my first flat in Pagham with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. 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%.
