Just bought a terraced house in Lowestoft , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Lowestoft conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Lowestoft registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Lowestoft with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Lowestoft ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a house.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Lowestoft. I've discover a site which looks to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
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?
Developers have put forward a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost £400 less expensive than my family Lowestoft solicitor. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your local Lowestoft property lawyer.
