I moved into my house on 6 March and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Alston said it will be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Alston uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Alston registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Alston benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage 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.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Alston based conveyancer who is on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
In the event that you have not formally appointed a solicitor to commence the conveyancing and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Alston that you're considering.
