The fee calculation issued of £550 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

I am buying a new build house in Trelogan benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
