It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Patcham Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Patcham Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Patcham.
I purchased my flat on 13 September and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Patcham advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Patcham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Patcham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a new build house in Patcham with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. 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 have just started marketing my garden flat in Patcham.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and service payments should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
