Trust me when I say this.

The bonus gets added to the pool of funds at completion. It is inevitable it gets used for SDLT and legal fees despite what the rules say.

Have a read of this for some real life stuff;-

Fair enough, you'll be closer to this in your line of work than those of us just reading up on the rules!

However, doing this is still dependent on using a solicitor who is prepared to bend the rules - the most recent post on that thread refers to one who wasn't - so I'd have thought that anyone (such as the OP in this thread) with an apparently unhelpful solicitor really needs to establish up front whether it's going to work the way they want it to....

It just came off our deposit at completion so instead of paying 15k for instance we paid 13k
