Have completed on a a terraced house in Swadlincote , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Swadlincote conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Swadlincote is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a new build house in Swadlincote benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my loan with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.
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 am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Swadlincote. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Swadlincote - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I purchased a garden flat in Swadlincote, conveyancing having been completed June 2009. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Swadlincote with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2080
With 55 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
