Just bought a semi-detached house in Rawdon and Yeadon , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Rawdon and Yeadon with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. 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.
