Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Hedon. Is there a reason why all Hedon solicitors aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. As a result, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
Have purchased a a detached house in Hedon , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Hedon conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Hedon is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Hedon with a loan from Halifax. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
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.

There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
22 days into a sale of a flat in Hedon. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount by the landlord. To date we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for answers to questions supplied by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your conveyancer will have any sway over the extent of the bill for this information but the typical costs for the information for Hedon leasehold property is £360. For Hedon conveyancing transactions it is usual for the seller to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no statute that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time frame by which they are required to issue answers.
