Just bought a semi-detached house in Chipping Sodbury , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Chipping Sodbury conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Chipping Sodbury is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am purchasing a new build house in Chipping Sodbury benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Chipping Sodbury is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Chipping Sodbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chipping Sodbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chipping Sodbury may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
