I acquired my flat on 16 September and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Storrington expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Storrington particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Storrington registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Storrington benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may impact my loan with Bank of Scotland. 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 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.
