I'm buying a new build house in Freshwater Bay with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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%.
