Have completed on a a detached house in Beaconsfield , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Beaconsfield conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Beaconsfield registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Beaconsfield with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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.
