I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Hartfield with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I bought my flat on 6 July and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hartfield said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Hartfield particularly slow to register?

As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm buying a new build house in Hartfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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%.
