IfI was to purchase a simple residential propertyin Walton Le Dale mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Walton Le Dale?

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Walton Le Dale.
I'm buying my first flat in Walton Le Dale with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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.

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Walton Le Dale. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage went though with no issue.

I bought a property in Walton Le Dale last 21/1/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
