I am buying my first flat in Marylebone with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.

HM Land Registry are legally required to note price paid data on a register of the title for domestic properties countrywide including properties in Marylebone. The register of title is a public document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not grant access to the register.

In essence you can make a request of HM Land Registry to withhold the price paid entry but the answer would be in the negative.
