I am acquiring a newly constructed duplex in Caversham and my solicitor is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Have purchased a a detached house in Caversham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Caversham conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Caversham registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
