Just bought a semi-detached house in Park Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Park Hill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Park Hill is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Park Hill with a mortgage from Aldermore. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Aldermore. Should I keep quiet?.
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 happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a house in Park Hill which will be marketed. The property is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is done before they will proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
