I am purchasing a new build house in Warfield with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Skipton Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.
