We're in Burton Joyce, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Leeds Building Society , and our lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Burton Joyce conveyancing practitioners are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?

It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Burton Joyce conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Just acquired a detached house in Burton Joyce , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Burton Joyce conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Burton Joyce registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am purchasing my first flat in Burton Joyce with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. 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.
