I am hoping to move into my new home in Abridge next Tuesday.

As far as conveyancing in Abridge is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm buying my first flat in Abridge benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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 decided to have a survey completed on a house in Abridge prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate bank.

The primary upside of using a high street Abridge conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Abridge know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown Abridge conveyancing solicitor just because they are Abridge based.

I am searching for Abridge online conveyancing estimates. Can I be confident that all the Abridge practices that are identified on your directory are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The law firms on our directory have advised us that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Abridge conveyancing solicitor being on the lender conveyancing panel is incorrect.
