I'm in the throws of viewing flats in Hadleigh and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Hadleigh lawyer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hadleigh lawyer having checked that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hadleigh postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hadleigh.
Just bought a terraced house in Hadleigh , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Hadleigh conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hadleigh registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying a new build house in Hadleigh with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my loan 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.
