I completed on my home on 5 January and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rayleigh advises it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Rayleigh uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rayleigh registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing my first flat in Rayleigh with a loan from Clydesdale. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
