Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Appleton?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Appleton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing a new build house in Appleton with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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.
