You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer.

The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I completed on my home on 6 November and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Hambleton said it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Hambleton uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Hambleton registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Hambleton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
