I moved into my home on 7 April and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Filton expressed confidence that it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Filton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Filton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies.

Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Filton with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
