In looking at consumer advice sites for a recommended lawyer in Harrow Weald, most say that I should instruct a CQS assured lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders.

Harrow Weald is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS solicitors.
I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Harrow Weald. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Harrow Weald and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Harrow Weald with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. 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 have been advised by many friends that it should take up to two months for Harrow Weald conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The draft contract was only forwarded from the vendors lawyer last week so now does it countdown?
You need to be pragmatic concerning timing. Property transactions in Harrow Weald takes on average about two months. This time period is not because conveyancer are slow and purposely delay matters. The amount of money involved in buying any residence is so high, the buyer’s property lawyer needing to raise a wide range of queries, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their lender (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Harrow Weald involves getting information from a range of different parties, including other lawyer, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Some of these are well organised. Others aren't. And remember, no matter how quickly your property lawyer do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
