Is this suitable for conveyancing in Isle Of Wight?

As far as conveyancing in Isle Of Wight registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing my first flat in Isle Of Wight with a loan from TSB. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my loan with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
