Just acquired a terraced house in Hermitage , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Hermitage conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Hermitage registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Hermitage with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.

My partner has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Hermitage. Do I take his recommendation?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Hermitage conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to seek recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.
