I completed on my home on 1 January and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Pulborough expressed confidence that it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Pulborough uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Pulborough registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying a new build house in Pulborough benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact 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%.
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.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pulborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
