Just bought a semi-detached house in Lowestoft , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Lowestoft conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Lowestoft registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying my first flat in Lowestoft with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Lowestoft. I have chance upon a web site which seems to have the ideal answer If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
New build sellers have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my own Lowestoft solicitor. Should I use them?
Housebuilders normally have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Lowestoft property lawyer.
