Just bought a detached house in Rotherhithe , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Rotherhithe conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Rotherhithe registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am purchasing my first flat in Rotherhithe with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Rotherhithe prior to retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a house.
