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%.

My wife and I soon to complete buying a house in Broadstone but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the mortgage company will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

Any lawyer listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the bank of any changes to the purchase amount. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the price change to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to refrain from representing you and the mortgage company.
