I moved into my home on 8 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Newton Longville said it will be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Newton Longville particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Newton Longville registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying a new build house in Newton Longville benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Newton Longville to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your site over another?

We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
