AssumingI were to acquire a freehold homein Beacon Hill for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Beacon Hill?

The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Beacon Hill conveyancing searches.

Just bought a detached house in Beacon Hill , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Beacon Hill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Beacon Hill registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually primary concern 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 an expedited registration.

I am buying a new build house in Beacon Hill with a mortgage from Barclays . The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
