Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Newark conveyancing practitioners are instructed. How long does it take for Nationwide to send the offer to the conveyancer?

Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone UBS or your broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors.

Our offer on a detached house in Newark has been accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Newark. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Newark conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Newark.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Newark conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Newark.
I am buying my first flat in Newark benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my loan with the bank. 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.

I acquired a house in Newark last 31/1/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities.
