I bought my flat on 3 June and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Seaburn expressed confidence that it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Seaburn particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Seaburn registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing a new build house in Seaburn benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to business tenants, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end.

My brother is buying a ground floor flat in Seaburn. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner recommended by the selling agents totaling £1156 . It was 9 years ago I sold and purchased a property and the fee was £495. Have fees really escalated to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Seaburn searches, land registry fees, etc)
