My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers.

My conveyancing solicitor in Isle of Sheppey expressed confidence that it should be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Isle of Sheppey particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Isle of Sheppey is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Isle of Sheppey with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with Leeds Building Society. 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.
