I acquired my house on 2 June and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Chopwell expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Chopwell particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Chopwell is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

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.

Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Chopwell on May bank holiday?

This is due to the fact that on completion the purchase price will be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancer and at present this can only happen on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
