Just bought a detached house in Dartmouth Park , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Dartmouth Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dartmouth Park registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Dartmouth Park with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would affect my mortgage with Chelsea 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.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Dartmouth Park to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
